The French Hotel Cafe CD -- Marc Silber and Tom Bruce
Recent changes at Google broke all of the audio so this site has moved.
The old cafe is gone, replaced by Cafe Senz at the same location. Most of the original staff have moved on but some of the old crowd can still be found there. This site remains as a memory of earlier times.
You may download this CD for free! The zip files contain the mp3s, cover art, and assembly instructions. Or just use the player here.
