Yes, I remember enjoying the bonus tracks as much as the album.

RIP Gérard Hourbette, age 64. No English-language obits as yet I don't think.

That's a shame. I guess that means the band is finished now?

From their Wikipedia page: "The band has announced Monique Hourbette-Vialadieu will replace him as artistic director of the studios." So maybe there'll still be a live version accompanying films, dance performances etc? Guess the music's all there and it's not like it requires especially distinctive playing styles.

Been wanting to hear Les Espaces Inquiets for years because I heard an amazing clip from "ceremonie" and it is an incredible track, easily the highlight of the album and I'd be surprised if they had many that are much better than this. The rest is good but I don't have much to say about it.

Zaboitzeff solo stuffhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHbDjt-o8ss
I haven't listened to enough of the band to know which parts are coming from who but I often suspect Zaboitzeff is responsible for a lot of my favorite parts.

I was wondering how to even begin visualising the sound but the best I can think of is some sort of dark shapeshifting steel contorting man with lots of spidery limbs making music with his body in a strange crawling, spinning dance.

I was thinking of "Ex Tractu Do Inocauit", an amazing track.

Rumeurs III is still one of my all-time favorite thingshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-256kNll_9o

If we have a catch-all ROI thread I cannot find it.
I came across this late 70s band today from Sweden, Myrbein, and boy it's good.
