this is completely impossible! hats off to them for fantastic and unheard choices on the Traces comps, haven't heard two & three.
the Guy Reibel speaker-ripper I only came across about 6-7 years ago so I'll probably just vote according to iTunes playcount even if I could easily be more sentimental about any Parmegiani / Bayle / Ferrari / Xenakis

i have not heard all of these, but indeed the Traces comps are fantastic and essential listening. i need to pick up the third this week or next. Presque Rien and the Pierre Schaeffer LP are my other faves of the ones I've picked up. hard to pick one!

these are all rad so this just hurts
I think as far as surprising me the most, the Schaeffer is so great and such a stunner in the context of his previous pieces. The Bayle and Parmegiani and Ferrari I already had on CD so they didn't come at me fresh in the context of this label as a series. The Traces comp ones are fab because they introduce you to folks you might not already know, and the Beatrice Ferreyra piece on Traces One is sooooooo good.
I say hats off to Francois Bonnet and the GRM crew for doing this (also, check out his music as Kassel Jaeger on Mego while you're at it)!
