Between 1980 and 87, Michele Mercure released a small but perfectly formed collection of cassette and vinyl-only albums that showcased her unique and ear-pleasing fusion of electronic and acoustic instrumentation. It's these albums - and those Mercure put out as Michele Musser - which RVNG Intl has mined for "Beside Herself", a superb primer on the Pennsylvania-based artist's little-known career. The genius of Mercure's work - aside from her firm grasp of mood and melody - was her innate ability to blend elements of Berlin School and new age ambience with elements of experimental electronica, surprisingly cinematic soundscapes (she often earned a living composing for TV, film and theatre) and more rugged industrial influences. It's a formula that makes for absorbing and hugely enjoyable listening.
