Structure
Pop Music
Cool library-styled French album from 1970. Psychedelic, proggy jazz-funk with Brazilian/Bossa touches! Groovy flute by
Bernard Wystraëte plus heavy bass, drums (by André Ceccarelli), violin, occasional fuzz-wah guitar and Urszula
Dudziak-like scat vocals. In 1970, the AFA label asked flautist Bernard Wystraëte to register a "pop" album after the
worldwide impact of progressive bands like Aphrodite's Child and Jethro Tull.
Bernard recruited some of his friends who were professional musicians and Structure was born. He wrote a collection of
songs influenced by progressive rock, jazz and Brazilian music. The 'Pop Music' album was recorded live in the studio to
give a "live show" feel. It was released later that year housed in a superb psychedelic sleeve. The band even toured
across France and several countries at the same time that Bernard and other Structure members started backing famous
French singer Marie Laforêt live. After the good reception given to the album, another label asked Bernard to record a
Structure 45. 'Dilatation'/'Scale' was released under a new line-up. Both tracks of this 45 are included as bonus tracks
on the digital download version and the CD. Original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Insert with liner notes and
photos. Download card of the album plus two bonus tracks from a rare 45. RIYL: Jean Cohen-Solal, COS, Cortex, ZAO,
