Minimal Wave Records

One being very frigid, the other being icy, the two sides of this vinyl 7 inch split release will fuel all of your 80’s nostalgia. On the one side, there is Ligne d’Hiver who were a rather dark and previously unknown group that had emerged from the mid-80’s Cold Wave scene in Rennes, France. Their icy and psychotic recordings, which have remained unreleased to date, have now been unveiled by us, and all of this is just for you!
On the other side, there is Saison Froide for who this release marks the first vinyl appearance in the eight years of the project’s existence. Saison Froide is a side project by Flav (of Paris Violence fame) in which he appears to be heavily influenced by Leitmotiv, Odessa as wells as Marc Seberg.
So, two unreleased tracks by each group – soon in your very own hands, this is THE Cold Wave split release which should have already been released 20 years ago!

I can’t say enough about this fantastic new Release from Brouillard!  Anyone who doesn’t order this single is truly missing out on a real jewel of the French Cold Guitar Synth/Wave Cannon.  Ligne Froide is as stripped down and frighteningly minimal as the French can possibly get -  a single icy drum machine, simple circular guitar patterns that suggest the classic masters of the Cold such as Sombre Septembre, Gestalt, Procede, Victrola or Coldreams with a distant echoey voice calling out ‘whats wrong with my mind, whats wrong with my mind’...over and over…a perfect soundtrack for a nice night out on the town, or a nice lights out on your life.  Saison Froide presents a slightly warmer sound with more orchestral production and barritone vox with glittery guitars suggesting a few years later into the decade as one might expect from Wedding Anniversary, Crux Ansata, Message, mid period Opera Multi Steel, or the track I followed it with the amazing ‘One Moment Like This’ by Humour Malade…

Bravo Sandra!, can’t wait to see whats next!

VRp.

Order placed since yesterday. :wink:
And I suggest you all to buy the cd of Femme Fatale as well.  Check it out on myspace and you will hear some amazing tunes (“Frederic” is a real masterpiece).

Thanks for the comment Pieter, i was sure you would like this EP.

Frederic is a good cover of Charles de Goal indeed. Better than the original song LOL
