On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Previous Fireflies Post Prompted this Excursion

Fireflies are Nina Walsh & Franck Alba. I have featured Nina before involving her relationship as long term creative partner to Andrew Weatherall. The two ran the Sabres of Paradise & Sabrettes record labels. They later released material as Woodleigh Research Facility which I have extensively shared in the past.

The other half of Fireflies is guitarist Franck Alba (photo - 1st right). Franck was a long-time member of the Anglo-French ambient pop experimentalists Piano Magic. 

 



Piano Magic was formed by Glen Johnson in 1996, who used Ivo's collective This Mortal Coil as the template for his group. No less than 30 musicians have passed through their ranks, the solo constant being Glen. Franck has been onboard since the days of The Troubled Sleep of Piano Magic (2003).

Here is Piano Magic's final studio release... 

 

Piano Magic - Closure, Second Language SL036, 2016.

  2. Thanks N0, I haven't come across Piano Magic since the 90s and had no idea they carried on to the 2010s
