Mineralogy: Studying Le Berceau de Cristal

Last weekend found me almost completing a section of the book about Manuel Gottsching's first musical collaborations with then former Agitation Free and future Ashra member Lutz Ulbrich. This includes their soundtrack work for the Philippe Garrel directed 1976 film Le Berceau de Cristal. The dark, brooding music for the film, which starred Nico, Dominique Sandra and Anita Pallenberg, was recorded the previous year and finally released on the Spalax label in 1993. Having spent quite a while carefully listening to the album I'm curious to hear the music alongside the pictures but to the best of my knowledge Le Berceau remains out-of-print. Has anybody seem it? If so do get in touch and let me know.....
Next stop New Age of Earth.....
