Amazing CD of instrumental French avant insanity and beauty! Played
with Serge Gainsbourg and according to AMG:
"1972, Vannier's first full solo album, a conceptual ballet entiltled
'L'Enfant assassin des mouches' ('The child killer of the flies')[3]
(listen [1]), was released on a little-known French label called
'Suzelle'. This work exemplified the eclectic influences acting upon
its composer, and was completed with a short synopsis penned by
Gainsbourg. The album never received much attention, however, due to
the limits of its release- mostly in the direction of people working
in the record industry. He was to make one more concept album,
'Interprete les musiques de Georges Brassens', detailing the work of
the French composer with the same ensemble used on the previous album.
He then moulded a pop career as a singer-songwriter, releasing a
self-titled album on WEA in 1975. He has since largely withdrawn from
the public eye."
An amazing album!.......................
