Doesnt help those that want the hard copy though. A shame, because I think they've just re-released a lotof really interesting stuff like Atoll and Pulsar.

Blurb:
"Thierry PAYSSAN is no other than the half of MINIMUM VITAL, one of the most perticuliar and appreciated Progressive rock band of today's scene. One used to say that twins always act the same: Thierry PAYSSAN may have waited six years before making his own great escape, but he also shows a taste for romanticism and minimalism (!) not unlike his brother, Jean-Luc PAYSSAN. Guitars are just replaced by keyboards here. Written, produced and performed by the artist, "Dans La Maison Vide" (Musea, 2011) has been created as the soundtrack for a journey inside an empty house, the perfect place for ghosts of the past, from dusk till dawn. Piano plays the major role here, sometimes accompanied by organ, vocals or sythesizers. Just splendid !"

They have most of their catalogue - if not all - on emusic. For those who prefer the cheaper (digital) option. iTunes too, although that one is more expensive.

I spent a well worth fortune on Musea releases. I branched out and beyond the bands who barely surfaced with a reputation in America like Pulsar and Ange. I went for a host of bands like Mona Lisa....which there were certain titles from them that were impressive to your ears, however for me it was like listening to another version of ANGE,,,,and I found that aspect to be empty. It was like I spent hundreds of dollars on the Goblin and PFM cd's and was determined to investigate Italian prog further and finding only about an additional 6 more bands who were unique like them. Musea also did in fact carry more interesting bands than none at all....and compared to other labels they were rated the best for that realization. Inever understood what exactly went on between Musea and Edhels. In the real world it is none of my business. But as far as my sensibilities go I actually enjoyed those early Edhels releases which are no longer available I believe. Many prog fan friends of mine reacted a little harsh toward the band saying they captured too much Hackett and Crimson....and this took place more than 20 years ago. Now when you listen to those early Edhels releases you might tend to think it rates much better than some of the neo-prog of today. Musea always carried a host of bands that were like this. Many of them actually DID have something special to offer. It's a really cool label!

Thanks but seems like only 30 second snippets of each track.
