Well, that's certainly disappointing and frustrating. I can't understand why Apple would miss the opportunity to sell recordings available in the US to buyers outside the US...especially in this case when they are French recordings! I hope someone figures out a way around this because MP3 downloads from reputable sites are the perfect way for classic French recordings to get out to the public without the cost of pressing new CD versions. Ah well, many things in life make no sense... Mitch In a message dated 12/10/2010 1:54:37 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:

This recording is still commercially unavailable, as far as I can tell. I agree with Martin that Ecoliers de Saint Genest and Cafe Charbons are pretty essential recordings for an HG player to own. Maybe we'll see them on iTunes or eMusic soon. Meanwhile, contact me if you want to buy unauthorized copies (_www.frenchtradmusic.com_ (http://www.frenchtradmusic.com/) ). Let's support the musicians where we can by buying the classic stuff that's commercially available, and maybe start to gently pester our favorite French trad musicians to make the other stuff available as MP3s (anyone want to ask Gilles about getting Saint Genest onto iTunes?) Mitch Gordon [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) writes: Hi, talking about these *old* days and the AMTA recordings I would like to give a hint on my favourite album from these early days. It is the album "Danses de Berry" by "Les Ecoliers de Saint-Genest". Despite having listened to hundreds of drone music LPs / CDs since as a music critique for Germany's Folk-MICHEL and later Folker mag this is still one of my all time favourites. The band features a very young, 16 or 17 years old Gilles Chabenat, and, as the subtitle says, it contains: "Airs Nouveaux pour Danses Anciennes", new music for old dances. Many of these then "new airs" are today probably perceived to be traditional. Chabenat for example introduced his today widely renowned "Poules Huppées". These kids at their time were pioneers in what nowadays is called "musique trad": they composed new tunes in the old style. What made the record also exceptional is that they combined hurdy-gurdies and bagpipes with cello. If you don't know the CD, you should give it a try. you can listen to some samples here: _http://musique.fnac.com/a662705/Saint-Genest-les-Ecoliers-De-Danses-du-Berr y_ (http://musique.fnac.com/a662705/Saint-Genest-les-Ecoliers-De-Danses-du-Berry) -CD-album Best regards, Uli Am 10.12.10 06:25 schrieb "David Gillett" unter <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) >: > I just checked on eMusic and they have no less than 27 albums from the > AMTA catalog! eMusic is a subscription service that gives you a > monthly credit enough for about two or three albums per month, but you > can purchase Booster Packs if you really want (need) to binge at any > time - like finding the AMTA catalog and can't wait!
