    ^ Judging from his impressive formal resumé overall, Hourbette must have been a rather modest fella in the grand scheme of things. There are numerous other names in borderline rock/art music circles that keep boosting their own stature on less than half of Hourbette's Curriculum Vitae.

    Interesting how his (and AZ's) collab with Roland Petit is highlighted, as it's notably a piece where Hourbette's input takes the driver's seat. Wasn't there even some footage available from one of the original choreographic performances of this work?

    I also think it is their highest profile gig and they are justifiably simply proud of it.
