wow its getting very hazy going back this far, but Ludovic was
responsible for the majority of a-class stuff that came out on Fnac,
which was a top label in its time and the precursor to F-comm.
He has done a ton of records - some of the best were his Deepside
eps, the original of Alabama Blues on Fnac as mentioned, Aurora
Borealis ep, the very beautiful Acid Eiffel ep as 'Choice' (which was
also released thru derrick mays transmat label). Also co-produced
many eps for other people on Fnac - including one of my fav tracks
from 1993 - Wake Up/Breathless by Laurent Garnier (warp and
Fnac). He even had a record out on dutch label Djax as hexagone
which had two great b-side tracks
Im sure there is a compilation of Ludovics older stuff out, but it may
be an Australian only release. Keep in mind that his earlier stuff is
nothing like Boulevard 1-3 series - this album was pretty ground
breaking for its time..
one of my fav. electronic music producers anyway..
