AGP48 features the work of a French trio, all of whom play synthesizers and two of whom play violin and cello on some works. They play works by trio members, the composers Philippe Mion and Bernard Parmegiani, and collaborative compositions. The six tracks of this installment comprise all but one of the tracks on a 2LP set on INA-GRM records. The last track, by Bernard Parmegiani, is in AGP49.

My personal favorite track is 05, by Philippe Mion. His sense of rhythm is reminiscent of L'Image Éconduite (AGP5), as is the fugal structure he achieves through the overlapping of reiterated sound elements with gradual development in the course of the composition. The timbres are more limited in this work, but still enjoyable.

The recording and pressing of this installment is basically flawless. The installment includes a text file with the English language notes from the set.
