Fables is an album by French jazz fusion artist Jean-Luc Ponty, released in 1985.
AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell noted that "Ponty's sound has opened up considerably", but that he "continues to explore the high-tech, electronic, sequenced ostinato world that he opened the door to on Individual Choice" and that the album is "very even... without any extreme peaks or dips".
Fables is one of several of Ponty's albums that has been acknowledged as an influence on Detroit techno artists. In 2014, DJ Rolando cited it as his favourite album.[1]
