Gemini Cricket is stand 267 in the music section of the Marche Dauphine at the Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen, and the man behind it files his stock by what it does to you rather than by genre: music to float to, to settle down to, to take off to, to nod your head to, to move your legs to. His pitch is that when you walk into a shop you are either after something specific or waiting for a good surprise to land on you, and that the record which will really satisfy him is the one he has not found yet. The market around him is a 6000 square metre hall of more than 150 dealers, open since 1991 at the start of the rue des Rosiers.
