- Can still be found in various places such as Archive.org - AGP Mirror (flac) - AGP Mirror (mp3) and @ Ubuweb and includes this lovely piece of Musique Concrete released by Ina-Grm in 1987:

- "The fifth AGP installment is pure ear candy. It is a remarkable piece of electroacoustic music by Philippe Mion, released on the INA-GRM (Institut National de L'audiovisuel, Groupe de Recherches Musicales) label in 1987 (INA-GRM no 9118 mi). The GRM was founded by Pierre Schaeffer in the 1950s and merged with the INA in the 1970s. It has included among its members many of the all-time greats of electroacoustic music. Most of the INA-GRM LP releases are now available on CD, and can be bought from electrocd.com in Montreal (as well as other places, I imagine). The INA-GRM catalog includes some dynamite works by Bernard Parmegiani, Ivo Malec, Francois Bayle, and others, that I would certainly include in AGP if they were not already available.

    This has nothing to do with the topic of this thread but everything to do with the previous post.

    - "Electroacoustic music by Phillipe Mion. Mion's music begins with his perceptions of sounds from everyday life, which he organizes with some level of abstraction. He has a great gift for listening to the world around him, and reimagining the sounds. He explores rhythms of trembling arms, the choreography of passersby, and bowed metalic objects, all of which are offered with great sensitivity and imagination. Compositions include 'Si C'etait du Jour' (1999), 'Des Jambes de Femmmes Tout le Temps' (1997), and 'Statue' (1985)."

    - "AGP105 is a transcription of an extremely rare LP on the Pathe Marconi EMI label (C 061-11632), found in Paris in the 1980s and haven't seen in US used record stores since. It features two (at the time) young french electroacoustic composers and GRM members: Christian Clozier and Jacques Lejeune. The LP copy is in excellent condition"
