2021 UK repress in gatefold. This avant-garde masterpiece was released in 1972. The album was initially conceived as the soundtrack for a film that was never made. However, the music gained a life of its own, and the album became one of the most celebrated experimental works of the 1970s. Vannier, who worked closely with French pop icon Serge Gainsbourg, created a lush and imaginative soundscape that blended elements of classical music, jazz, pop, and musique concrète.

The album "L'enfant Assassin Des Mouches" is a surreal and darkly whimsical work that features a broad range of musical instruments, including strings, woodwinds, and percussion. The record's opening track, "L'enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes," features a choir of children singing an eerie melody, which is then interrupted by a sudden burst of dissonant horns and percussion. The rest of the album features a series of haunting and dreamlike compositions that are both beautiful and unsettling. The music is often reminiscent of film scores, with lush orchestration and dramatic shifts in tone and mood.
