"Provocative and fascinating." (Le Monde la Musique)

A satire about television (Zappeurs-Pompiers 2) and religion (La calotte).
The cover by Italian cartoonist Massimo Mattioli (Squeak the mouse) is as crazy as the album.

Bernard VITET (trumpets, vocals, reed, piano, etc)
Francis GORGÉ (synthesizer, guitar, percussion, etc)

A video live version of Zappeurs-Pompiers 2 is on YouTube (1h16).
