Finally went through the Beauty Farm cd. I second everything Todd wrote 
in his review on the EM FAQ site. The Mass Malheur me bat in particular 
is splendid. The liner notes are quite insightful, especially the 
emphasis on the use of old-fashioned techniques in the Mass In myne zyn 
(the XV century fauxbourdon and, even more intriguing, the XIII-XIV 
century hocket).

I have no idea why they did not include the Mass Le Serviteur in the 
twofer cd. I am hoping for the best (the EP will be followed by a cd 
release with additional Agricola material) but preparing for the worst.

In the unlikely but possible case somebody at Fra Bernardo is monitoring 
this newsgroup, can I suggest BF tackles Mouton next? Aesthetically and 
historically speaking looks like a logical follow up to their favorite 
composer so far (Gombert), and there are not many recent recordings out 
there, with the partial exception of a Tallis Scholars release. 
Alternatively, more Obrecht and more La Rue, please.
