"Sourced from recordings of multiple-loudspeaker installations in northern France between 1993 and 1997, "Digitalis Purpurea" is Eric Cordier's second outing for Ground Fault (he also forms part of the group Afflux with GF regulars Jean-Luc Guionnet and Eric La Casa). Original sound material for Cordier's works is culled from church organs, dulcimers and hurdy gurdy - he's one of the few practitioners of the instrument worth listening to (check out the trio Schams) - imparting a rich stringy texture to the sounds, which are then stacked up into dense but not impenetrable structures (cf both the title track and "Dactyle Aglomérée"). "Les Os Longs" is more varied in texture, originating as it does in diverse field recordings - though unlike his friend and colleague La Casa, Cordier goes to great pains to disguise the sources - and the final "Postface" ("no tape manipulation", the composer stipulates) is a weeping draughty smear of pipe organ. The same instrument, by the way, features on Cordier and Guionnet's "Tore" (Shambala 004), being the result of a particularly fruitful collaboration between the two composers and La Grande Fabrique in Dieppe, which also yielded Cordier's first solo album "Houlque"." - Dan Warburton, Paris Transantlantic
