I got into him through Messiaen too. I got an album of Messiaen's organ music in a charity shop and loved it but found that I didn't like most other organ music that I listened to after that. Then I was chatting to a church organist and asked for recommendations based on only liking Messiaen and he threw a few French names at me - Tournemire, Dupre, Durufle and I forget what else. Tournemire was the only one that I liked. Most of this type of music is inclined to get too busy and overblown for me, too many notes blurring in churchy reverb and pompous bits for the glory of God or something but Tournemire keeps it calmer and more ethereal by and large.

Cool- haven't heard this before. I only know the Paix album which is an all time favourite
Cool! It's pretty amazing alright. Think I posted it here before but Julian Cope did an amazing review/description of it that somehow manages to capture it is in all it's glory The Book of Seth: Catherine Ribeiro+Alpes — PaixI just listened to this album. Glorious 10/10. Best thing I've herad in ages
Possibly the only French indie band to have a song about Joe Dolan?
