Formed by Serge Leroy, Christian Jacob and Christoph Harbonnier in 1985, the group set about developing their own distinctive brand of ambient and somewhat avant‑garde electronic music, inspired by the 'classic' sounds of the '70s when artists like Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream ruled the electronic airwaves. Even so, they've succeeded in securing several prestigious concerts around their native city of Paris, through contacts with arts foundations and sponsors. It's a typical Anglo autumnal morning in late 1992, with wind and rain in abundance, as I'm whisked from Newcastle to Kings Cross on a new InterCity 225 I'm bound for the Astoria Theatre on London's Charing Cross Road, where it's my intention to meet with Paul Haslinger and the French electronic music group Lightwave, headliners at UK Electronica 1992, the Second International Future Age Music Festival.Īs with most exponents of electronic music, Lightwave remain little‑known to the UK record‑buying public. Lightwave, together with ex‑Tangerine Dreamer Paul Haslinger, headlined the 1992 event in what proved to be an exciting collaboration. On an annual pilgrimage to UK Electronica, Jonathan Miller met with leading exponents of the electronic music genre.
