condition (record/cover): NM / NM . Gatefold sleeve.  Jacques Lenot signs Pour Mémoire II / Allégories D'Exil IV / We Approach The Sea on Harmonia Mundi, titles that announce memory, exile, and oceanic approach. Lenot belongs to that generation of French composers who inherited Messiaen's teaching without becoming his epigones, finding personal voices within the master's shadow.

"Pour Mémoire" suggests music as memorial, preservation against forgetting. "Allégories D'Exil" implies displacement, the condition of being elsewhere than home. "We Approach The Sea" shifts to English and to nature, that vast horizontal that swallows everything brought to it. Lenot's triptych moves through these states without resolving them into narrative. Harmonia Mundi's release positions him alongside the label's other contemporary commitments, serious music for serious listeners.
