I think Musidisc is the exclusive manufacturers of the "proper" INA GRM
releases (those with INA catalog numbers). I was referring to the ED CDs
that have the little INA-GRM logo (some of the Chions & Dhomonts, probably
among others). I'm not sure of the details, but I assume these releases
are either licensings of works originally presented on INA-GRM LPs or
contain works that were produced at GRM. Check out
http://www.ina.fr/GRM/PUBLICATIONS/CD/ for CDs that I consider to be at
the very least "co-releases" (no disrespect to ED, Celia or any of the
other labels).

Conversely, those CDs w/o the logo.

I meant it in the sense that they are a label that has been around
forever, which has put out a lot of the releases by the pioneers and early
masters of their "type" of music and almost singlehandedly invented a
(sub)genre of music. Furthermore, I would say that anything they've put
out is probably worth listening to (though I admit I haven't been very
good at keeping up with the later stuff). Obviously, the analogy doesn't
really terribly deep, but I was working in short hand for the list.
Speaking of empreintes, is there any sort of public locus of
electroacoustic music in Montreal (concert halls, record stores, etc)? I
don't recall reading about any when I was up there.
