Led by guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:7GHjippOuSVGrpB1VcPjx2">Richard Pinhas</a>, the French group Heldon released seven groundbreaking albums, melding electronic and rock forms, from 1974 to 1978. <a href="spotify:artist:7GHjippOuSVGrpB1VcPjx2">Pinhas</a> also recorded six albums under his own name. <a href="spotify:artist:7GHjippOuSVGrpB1VcPjx2">Pinhas</a> was heavily influenced by <a href="spotify:artist:5HKpBHDxIDNdtmEAGXGntl">Robert Fripp</a>; this shows in his guitar playing, and in the titles of several of his compositions. While early LPs sometimes evoked the sound of Fripp and Eno, Heldon evolved in its own direction. The release of Heldon IV: Agneta Nilsson saw the group heading toward a more intense, menacing sound. Heldon V: Un Reve Sans Consequence Speciale was the first to feature the "classic" lineup of <a href="spotify:artist:7GHjippOuSVGrpB1VcPjx2">Pinhas</a>, drummer Francois Auger, and keyboard player <a href="spotify:artist:51fD6b7yM5mGjcxmAF9S2E">Patrick Gauthier</a>. These three would be the key personnel on Heldon's last four albums. The entire <a href="spotify:artist:7GHjippOuSVGrpB1VcPjx2">Pinhas</a>/Heldon catalog was reissued on CD by Cuneiform, several featuring bonus live tracks. ~ Jim Dorsch, Rovi
