Jean-Luc Ponty - Civilized Evil (Japan, 1980)

Here we are with a violinist extraordinary. This is Jean-Luc Ponty - Civilized Evil on japanese vinyl. I like the japanese releases the most. Mostly they come with an obi-strip (see pic above) and many extras (additional lyric sheet english-japanese, biography,...) and of course the sound and pressing quality are awesome. Japanese perfection.


Mr. Ponty merges his violin sound with synth effects which I really find absolutely awesome.


This one is one of my favourites which I own. Please give him a listen.


Throughout the whole album we have some interference signals which are easy for us to see. Let's take a look.


01. Demagomania

There is some effect layer upon the whole time of the song which makes a detailed frequency analysis (see red COF lettering; means Cut-off frequency) a little bit harder. But I think we are in the 39kHz range. Interference approx. 21 and 22kHz


02. In Case We Survive

40kHz


03. Forms Of Life

A little drop-down, 30kHz


04. Peace Crusaders

42kHz


05. Happy Robots

43kHz


06. Shape Up Your Mind

41kHz


07. Good Guys, Bad Guys

COF again red. I can only guess approx. 39kHz?


08. Once A Blue Planet

31kHz
