Racing

Originally released in 1976 on France’s iconic Patchwork label, Racing is a landmark of French library music—crafted to soundtrack the adrenaline and atmosphere of sports, motion, and action. A seamless blend of jazz-funk, electronic textures, and cinematic orchestration, the album has become a sought-after treasure for collectors of vintage grooves and avant-garde instrumentals.

Split between two visionary artists, the A-side is helmed by Teddy Lasry, known for his pioneering work in electronic and experimental sound design. Lasry’s futuristic melodic sensibility and layered synth work give the album a sleek, otherworldly pulse—perfect for illustrating the high drama of winter sports and speed-driven sequences.

On the B-side, Claude Perraudin, master of rhythmic guitar composition, brings sharp-edged funk and cinematic drive to each cut. With tracks themed around famous racetracks and rally destinations, Perraudin infuses the music with a tangible sense of urgency and movement.

This deluxe reissue offers a rare chance to own a cult favorite of the library music world—ideal for fans of L’Illustration Musicale, crate-diggers, sample hunters, and cinematic sound lovers.
