Description/Reviews:
Disc One is new songs. The second disc is a collection of somewhat-obscure rock covers from the late 60s-early 70s. 
Blending elements of progressive rock, fusion, cartoon music, and Rock-in-Opposition, the music of French TV can be simultaneously hilarious and highly challenging, making it one of the most original American prog rock outfits and also one of the longest lived, having created 16 albums as well as having toured Europe and the US, along with many major festivals since their formation in 1983.
