Contrevent's Three Fusion Albums Jeu de Paume, Youkali, Terre de Feu from 1985 to 1993 [limited time only]

From the last album, a very inventively semi-dissonant track called Smog:

  2. My goodness, I love how you turn up treasures from the past. I am mellowing and likely would not have enjoyed the intricacies of this music in the past.

    Thanks for this, its music I can play in the house without my wife cringing, plus as a bonus they are Canadian, eh?
