i liked the electronic music comp, but psychedelic sanza is something else. it's the kind of album you put on again as soon as it's over.

Yeah I really like that one. Don't really know the electronic stuff, actually.

Francis Bebey is one of my favorite composers and favorite people!
I picked up this bio and will be slowly working my way through, hopefully remembering to report back here with anything interesting

well, it's really more of a critical essay than a full-on bio, but nevertheless it seems interesting

I should dig out Psychedelic Sanzas, it's been a while
