Glen later sent the tape to a friend label, Static Caravan, who released Laurent's 7" called "Rhythmil". During the same year Laurent bought a computer to make it easier to create sounds. Salvo Pinzone from the label Disasterbychoice (Italy) offered Laurent to release a complete album. The album was composed during Laurent's time in the military service in a very small room and with small means.
He then releases a second album with Static Caravan ("Silica")
Finally, in 2002, he's interviewed by a man named Stephane, who runs a webzine ("Autres directions"). They become friends and Stephane talks to Laurent about a label he wants to create. Laurents accepts to be part of it, and his last album, "La Tête qui Flotte", is released, under the label "Autres directions in music". Read more on Last.fm.
