The Fruit of the Original Sin
I’m not too sure what to say about this release. It is one of the more random things that I ran across in G’pa’s record collection. Over the years it has totally grown on me, and as far as artsy compilations go, I really enjoy this one.
Not a perfect transfer. There are a couple of places where the record sticks and there are a few pops and scratches, but I’ve grown quite fond of them…. As with the other stuff so far, I wasn’t patient enough to separate the tracks. Read more for the complete track-listing.

Hy,
I want to thank you a thousand times for all theese treasures I was looking for but hard to find. I have 7000 records, a lot of rare progressive and experimental stuff but it’s hard for me to find time for digitize those records. There’s a lot of interesting French music or composers wich remain unknown on the international level.
I also manage a cultural center where I teach the young generations (and some old folks to…)babout those times & musics. Your site is really helpfull for this mission. I would like to make a donation but i’m not able to do it yet. You can find me also at these adresses:

http://www.myspace.com/lestaches wich is my band.
I make a lot of experimental music to but none of this work had been released yet.
Thanks again for your work, it’s really worted & hope to meet you one of these days. If you ever pass by Montreal one day, drop by to see my collection, it will be a pleasure to exchange with you on this subject.
Have a nice day & continue your good work!

Hey Alain,
Thanks for the comment. I’ll be sure to check out some of our music (though living in India at the moment, my internet connection speed is dreadfully slow).
As for the donation—don’t worry about it. I got a lot of this stuff for free from my grandfather—who had a collection of tens of thousands of records—and I’m glad to be able to help introduce others to some of this great music.
Good luck with the cultural center! It sounds like a great project.
