Nostalgie De La Boue [ndlb#80], Ivory Coast, 2016
In 1985 was released by spanish label STI an obscure compilation tape of french artists, that I consider as a milestone in the history of french underground musics, and that was also the very first post on that blog :
Le Défilé Des Épaves. Some of the artists appearing on this cassette are still active today, and many many more have appeared since then.
Thirty years later, I've decided to propose a new panorama of french underground musics, according to an inclusive definition : artists living in France whatever their nationality and french artists living abroad.
Here is the result : 91 tracks (including 80 previously unreleased), more than 9 hours of amazing music covering many sub-genres of post-industrial and experimental musics (ambient, bruitism, dark ambient, drone, electroacoustic, electronica, improvised, industrial, minimal synth, minimalism, modern classical, musique concrète, noise, post-folk, ritual, tribal, etc.). As it is a very masculine scene, I've done my best to invite as much women as possible : as a result, 13 artists/tracks include a female element.
Given their quality, I really think that many tracks here deserve to appear on a physical release. If a "real" label wants to organize a redux physical version of this compilation, please contact me or the artists.
The compilation comes with a 12p booklet with tracklist and informations about all tracks. It is included when you download the complete album ; if you choose to download a few tracks only, see below the link to download the booklet separately.
Those who prefer to burn CDrs can separate the tracks on 8 albums : CD1 : tracks 1-9 / CD2 : tracks 10-20 / CD3 : tracks 21-32 / CD4 : tracks 33-43 / CD5 : tracks 44-55 / CD6 : tracks 56-69 / CD7 : tracks 70-80 / CD8 : tracks 81-91.
Many thanks to all artists involved and to Jef Benech' for the artwork.
