Liner notes from Marc ROZENBERG for the CD reissue (January 2003) : Twenty years later… The time of a thousand lives, the time of a single dream. The inferno lit up long ago burning still No ashes. Impossible ashes. With the long lasting life of radioactive elements, Emotions and energy remain. Only natural. Facts are stubborn : Despairing, fearing and dreaming remain shared by one and all. This was not an easy tale to tell. This is one still difficult to live through. « Human, too human » The lowest attack on Eskaton was to call it messianic. Today,looking back, we’d say « International reporter » Nothing has moved. Everything is different. A belief remains, a blinding and incredible belief That we will have to mutate or die That Man is this rope strung between the worst and the best. So then, dear friend, listen to this cathedral of sounds, This torrent of emotions, these mathematics of the heart, And be assured that they are about your love of life, And that this love is shared… Ahhh…the last album from this excellent pop Zeuhl band from 1982. In 2003 we featured the archive reissue Ardeur release…and this contains the same lineup. For those that don’t know, these guys were pretty much up there with the stature of Magma. Hailing from Paris , these guys had a strong influence from Magma in the earlier recordings, but molded out with their own sound into the early 80′s. Emerging in the very late 1970′s, this band was one of the first of the genre. Fiction was their second vinyl album that was recorded in late 1982, and is superbly reissued for the first time. All remastered from the original master recordings. This reissue features four bonus tracks from their never released final album Icare. You may have heard one of the tracks before, but this includes 3 tracks never released. Alain at Soleilzeuhl has done it again. A must have archive recording for 2005! From the Gagliarchives… Expand
