"Drawing on everything from chamber music to melodrama scoring to experimental improvisation and noise, the music creates a panorama quite conductive for the listeners to create their own episodes on..." (Cadence)

A wonderful cover by Jean Bruller (a.k.a. Vercors). L'invitation au voyage by Charles Baudelaire and Henri Duparc, and Youenn Le Berre's bagpipes. A suite of nightmares and Copernician revolutions.
