About
CAM Sugar and Decca Records France are proud to present the first complete edition of cult score La Scoumoune by François de Roubaix, supplemented by many previously unreleased tracks, demos, and alternate takes.
This release also features new remixes by Alessandro Baldessari, Jean-Michel Bernard, and Benjamin de Roubaix, the composer’s son. Retro thriller La Scoumoune, with Jean-Paul Belmondo, stands out as an Everest of electronic music in cinema. It is one of the objective masterpieces by François de Roubaix, pioneer, experimenter, and genius tinkerer. Creating this unique score, de Roubaix recorded himself on each track with a different instrument. At the request of filmmaker José Giovanni, de Roubaix found connections between the barrel organ and synthesizers, complemented by unusual effects from rattles, files, and springs.
