"For in tremendous extremities, human souls are like drowning men; well enough they know the causes of that peril, nevertheless, the sea is the sea, and these drowning men do drown."

"Car, dans les cas désespérés, les âmes humaines sont les hommes qui se noient: elles savent bien qu'elles sont en péril, elles connaissent bien les causes de ce péril, mais la mer est la mer et il faut qu'elles se noient."

Herman Melville

Need a vinyl release. Scott forever. That is all I have. Thanks!

Hoping it will get re-released one day, it's a beautiful expérience after all.

Tracks 8 and 9 are actually sung by an uncredited cast member, the credit given in the liners is for the original composers of each. Track 16 includes a hidden track, Guillame Depardieu singing "Sans Bagages" by the chanteuse Barbara from the alternate cut 'Pierre, ou Les Ambiguïtés' made for French television and broadcast in 2001, in another arrangement presumably by Gilles Fournier.
