France has a long history of organ music going back to at least the 17th Century. A bunch of the French baroque composers were very active on the organ, mostly the Couperins (cause there were at least two of those lads) and Jean-Philippe Rameau, who would have initially been taught music by his da who was an organist at churches for 40+ years. Also that was back in the days of the Sun King, who was mad into music and pretty much started professional music society in France.

cheers to Cormcolash and hiadudaid? for suggestions.

Bit of a cheat as April March is an American, but half the album is sung in French & it has cool stylish, retro futuristic production by Bertrand Burgalat.
