NYL, a French rock commune, were naturally but intentionally formed around Michel PETEAU by lots of musicians, soon after he disbanded Cheval Fou. According to their information, the personnel were Michel PETEAU (guitar), Stephane ROSSINI (drums,voices), Jannick TOP (bass; already recorded also Udu Wudu with Magma), Patrick FONTAINE (bass), Olivier PAMELA (bass and voices), Elisabeth WIENER (voices), LOY (piano), D.B.F. (synthesizer), FREEQUENTIN (alto saxophone), Ariel KALMAR (soprano saxophone), and Bernard LAVIALLE (guitar). They gathered themselves for recording live material in a studio and this could be crystallized as their only one eponymous album released via Urus Records in 1976. Fabrizio Di Vicino (Psych Up Melodies) says Richard Pinhas might publish the issue because of a phrase "Thanks To Heldon" written on the rear of the original LP. It's said they were disbanded soon after the session sadly.
This only one album could see the light again in 2011 as a reissued CD (with bonus tracks) via an Italian label Psych Up Melodies
Studio Album, released in 1976
