Bernard Xolotl

Yes, I have "Procession" -- a part of the bonus track on the CD was somehow tacked on to the first release of Robert Schroeder's "Pegasus". I'd wondered for years where that came from (because it obviously wasn't Schroeder!) and found out at the predecessor to this board.

A wash of glorious VP-330 choir sounds. I love it.

Procession is Bernard with Daniel Kobialka playing violins and viola.
On his "Prophecy" album he gets help from Mr. Clearlight, Cyrille Verdeaux.

I think Jarre fans would like "Last Wave" album/cd.

I was doing some reading on his website and found some of his music ideas interesting. He said that he used some sort of numerical patterns founf in seashells and the stars as a basis for the music on his "Return of the Golden Mean". Some may chalk that up to some sort of NA nonsense but when an artist really believes in something like that I find that it can add depth to the music.

I think I'll listen to his "Journey To An Oracle" album later when I go to sleep.

This is an old post, but I think it's worth getting Bernard's topic updated a bit.
-he released most of his music privately, on cassettes, then found the odd
label releasing LP's/CD's
-he was not happy with labels, in particular the UK Nada Pulse
-long absence from music scene due to health issues plus a catastrophic computer
failure losing a lot of music files
-focused more on new age art, check it out
-left the US and resettled home in France

Here is good interview with him:

Now some good news, lost music (some on cassettes only) is reissued:
Check the amazon US, I just ordered Tristany and Return of the golden mean, appear to be private releases.
More should come, but for now only available as mp3 downloads

Hope his health has improved.
