Recorded in 1979, This is Pierre's first instrumental album, with warm atmosphere, between originals and covers. Musiques is also a rebirth of the old Paris-Accordeon style played on the guitar as never before, inspiring the famous album Paris Musette produced by La Lichere. Perles de Cristal was aired on FIP radio every day for 15 months.
