La Fête sauvage (The Wild Party) is an original score album by Greek composer Vangelis (as Vangelis Papathanassiou on some releases), from the 1975 documentary about animal wildlife La Fête Sauvage, by Frédéric Rossif.
The first part of the album features a mixture of electronics, percussion, animal sounds, and tribal chanting which is extremely evocative of the nature of the film project.
The second part moves into more familiar Vangelis territory, with lush electronic soundscapes and sweet melodies, yet still well in keeping with the movie's themes.

Particularly interesting for Vangelis' fans, the new release contains the M&E (Music and effects) version of the movie, without the narrative voice.
