Their s/t disk & 3rd Warning are still available at Actuelle in Canada:

btw way Gabriel: Baudelaire! I can't believe I'm seeing that here! I went to visit his grave & pay homage in Paris. I also did a page on him [in English] on my site. There's a picture of the gravestone in a Flash piece I did regarding that visit also [music by Ella: "April in Paris"...'Twas true, but how could I resist? ;)]

Wow. Of course I'm interested. Baudelaire's Les fleurs du mal is the most beautiful poetry ever written.

A man after my own heart :) Do you like Rimbaud? Mallarme is my favorite poet [he was strongly influenced by Baudelaire]. But I still have to read English translations, so I'm sure I'm not experiencing the words in their full richness...:(

Yes, they're both great, especially Jongleries Élastique!  [Many think its their best!]
Enjoy!

The new Extra Life album, Made Flesh, is very good!

I eagerly await this new one's release!  their debut was amazing!
how are the other side-projects?  I have a feeling that Stern (Chuck Stern of Time Of Orchids) is probably interesting.  I like Zs to a degree.  what of the others?

Is there anyone in the team who is familiar with the solo albums of Guigou Chenevier (except Chris Syz)

I already replied to this via PM [I love him!], but wanted to ask if you've ever heard the rather sublime disk he did w/ Sophie Jausserand, A l'Abri des Micro-Climats, on RecRec in '84? If not, you should here it! Its op, but Mutant Sounds has ripped it & has a link. Just type his name in the search box [everything on the page is great!]

Check out YouTube for a wonderful live version.

Edit: oh, not bad.  I've been busy socialising though so my P.A. time has been cut.  I'm also moving out into a bedsit soon and won't know when I'll have the Internet yet.  I'll be sorting it out as soon as possible though.

Mmmm Univers Zéro's Straight Edge from Clivages is amazing.
