This is a double vinyl LP pressing of La Planete Sauvage by Stealing Sheep & The Radiophonic Workshop. Om or Draag? Thats the question overheating the water cooler as Ren Lalouxs celebrated sci-fi animation La Plante Sauvage (Fantastic Planet) from 1973 is overhauled with a re-imagined soundtrack by electronic modernists Stealing Sheep and legendary sound innovators The Radiophonic Workshop. La Plante Sauvage follows the relationship between the small human-like Oms and their much larger blue-skinned oppressors, the Draags, who rule the planet of Ygam.

Its a real pre-Avatar conundrum that Stealing Sheep, with the help of Bob Earland, Dick Mills and Roger Limb from the Radiophonic Workshop, unravel creating an ethereal excursion thats narrated by Roger Limb; like a futuristic Martin Denny, or Dr Who gone ambient techno, with a hint of Forbidden Planet 50 years on. Its an analogue swirl set in an off-world paradise; a field recording from the future.

Blending the formidable psych-rock and pop of Stealing Sheep with the pioneering electronic experiments of the Radiophonic Workshop, La Plante Sauvage is a thing of ambient beauty punctuated with electronic earworms that switches from intensely ominous to otherworldly dream like moments.
