I've been playing Boulevard 3/3, the latest of the 12"s they used for the
LP. It is beautiful, house-wise as well as aj-wise. St Germain is an artist
who, with the same tune, will please an acid-jazz crowd as well as a
house-crowd, and trust me it's usefull in chicago :) Anyway I didn't go for
the full LP cauz $21.99 was a little expensive since I already have 1/3 of
the LP, but I would recommend it to anyone. It's on the F communications
label (France).

As for previous recordings, I have that good ol' St Germain 12" on the (now
dead) FNAC label out of France. It's from either 1992 or 1993, blue vinyl,
and it has that timeless track on it, an uptempo acidjazz / downtempo house
called "Live Jazz", it's wonderful, with a great piano line. It also has a
house/salsa track.

I wish everyone on here had the opportunity to hear some of the greatest
deep house djs (ie Derrick Carter or Mark Farina) beat the shit out of some
St Germain tracks...
