Spoiler alert. A brilliant moment occurs right at the end of 1977’s Interface. The album’s final song, its side-long title track, builds up slowly into a roaring tornado of fiercel y mutating drum patterns, effervescent synth work, and guitar licks that wail into the atmosphere like an abandoned astronaut. Then, after nearly nineteen minutes of highly futuristic avant-garde space rock, this ultramodern music fades out and is replaced by a concluding few seconds of traditional blues-rock guitar. “We were finishing the track, the tape was rolling, and I started to play a normal boogie or whatever,” remembers Heldon leader Richard Pinhas. “I think it was a good idea to keep it. It just came naturally, at the end.” Show more
