.@thelionlabel reissued 'Pour Pauwels' in 2013. Here's a blurb from their site with some interesting background on Skornik and the album. pic.twitter.com/zBzwx4ydIA
A lot of interesting releases came out of early 70s France, combining elements of chanson, psych, prog, & baroque pop. One example is Guy Skornik's excellent 1971 album 'Pour Pauwels'. 'Gurdjieff', from this album, is a tribute to the Russian mystic: https://t.co/qsJWoGHogH

Adieu to another great: Francis Lai has died at the age of 86. He was a prolific film composer, writing over 100 scores. He's best known, of course, for the theme from 'Un homme et une femme' (1966), which was a huge international sensation: https://t.co/Nt6BpdyosU.
