Bernard Xolotl picture
Bernard Xolotl biography
Painter, writer and musician, Bernard Xolotl figures among the pioneers of cosmic synth music next to Klaus Schulze and others. He was first deeply influenced by early standards in electro-acoustic researches. Step by step he considered the Berlin progressive electronic scene as a major influence on his work. Since 1976, with the launch of his solo career, he has explored the capacity of technologies in visual / textural analog essays. During the 80s he went to the United States in order to create his own studio. His knowledges on Buddhism, Tibetan mysticism and on geometric, dynamic mandala systems also have a big impact on his sense of composition. He worked with many musicians as Cyrille Verdeaux (Clearlight), Bernard Largounez...Two of his most internationally recognised albums (Procession / Last Wave) are good example of celestial, crystalline, almost melodic electronic releases.

Review by Paul Stump

3 stars Dig that crazy cover, man. This chap was a bit unlucky - he hit just a year or so before New Age took off and in the UK this could be found quite easily in high street record stores, mostly cos nobody knew who he was and nobody bought it. A shame, because it's not bad at all. Very solemn and a bit portentuous, with lots of bass-end reverb mirrored by Daniel Kobialka's keening electric and acoustic violins. Suitably ethereal, if somewhat below the first rank of European synthesis. And blessedly free - for the most part - of that boring chuga-chug sequencing that brought Schulze and his ilk so low.

3 stars In this Sci-fi "cosmic" synth affair, Xolotl is accompanied by the keyboardist and front man of the French Clearlight. Written at the beginning of the eighties, this album stresses the return or the continuation of Klaus Schulze's music (during his analog synth period in "Mirage", "Moondawn"...). Consequently, "Prophecy" is a hybrid of diverse "kosmische" electronics mixed into rather calm, flowing, mysterious realms. Nothing very inventive and creative if we remember what have been done previously in the genre. Moreover the sound is very "artificial", "soft" and "commercial"; fare from the avant-garde / visceral edges of Berlin first "weird" musical excursions. If you like the most "new agey" & "ambient" parts of experimental electronic music (late Cluster, Harold Budd, Robert Rich...) you will be seduced by the "ethereal" textures provided by the modern electronic inventions of "Prophecy".
