I would like the material of LJDLP to get the reissue treatment. Any news? Still active?
Some months ago Athanor published a news on her FB wall that will publish a new work on the future.
Athanor wants to re-issue "Exposition Internationale Paris 1937" (my personal favorite besides Collab. with Blood Axis)... also a new album is obviously in the works!
their last gig I have seen in Yverdon has been one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life.
Totally loved their earlier stuff, then sort of lost interest, then gained it again in the mid 2000's.
Top notch presentation, dramatic atmosphere and really nice guy.
I think I've heard everything, and I've enjoyed it all. Tired of going through hoops and scrambling for their availability in the late-90s. I'd love to see it all reissued on CD and readily available.
Was listening today:
Les Joyaux De La Princesse – Croix De Bois - Croix De Feu 6" flexi disc.
longer piece - that's less than 3 minutes, works much better than way too brief less than 2 minute. Some sort of subscription single what is related to:
Les Joyaux De La Princesse – Croix De Bois - Croix De Feu - white vinyl 10"
Absolute monumental pieces of organs, historical speeches, epic noises,... Very unfortunate that most works of the band is so expensive. But what the hell - if you're ok with youtube mp3 quality, entire 10": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkUlcDKdUSc
This is actually one of the items one can still grab 2nd hand, quite reasonable price considering great packaging.
I listened just his works with Death In June.
What's best album of him?
In my opinion his best works are:
Death In June & Les Joyaux De La Princesse "Östenbräun"
Blood Axis & Les Joyaux De La Princesse "Absinthe - La Folie Verte" (One of the most depressive and haunting releases I know ... Different versions available, in my opinion the CD digipack is by far the best: http://www.discogs.com/Blood-Axis-Les-Joyaux-De-La-Princesse-Absinthia-Taetra/release/309450)
Les Joyaux De La Princesse "Exposition Internationale - Arts Et Techniques - Paris 1937" (Absoute masterpiece ... monumental orchestral work! Announced by Athanor to be re-released ... but as most french labels, we know, it will take ages ...)
