LE SYNDICAT (Faction Vivante)

[breidahl]

I saw them play last summer. They played some sort of derpy IDM/Breakcore.
I fucking hate this kind of music.

Really? I think the tracks on this LP are good: https://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Disseminated-Darkness-On-Inner-Personality-Status-EP/release/9292062 Ramleh also got played by the guy from L.I.E.S. Records recently and I'm sure these guys are really glad that there are people who give a fuck about their music (as well as introducing it to a new "audience"): https://www.nts.live/shows/ron-morelli/episodes/lies-29th-june-2019?fbclid=IwAR1MYtR1fxgyn2KQcr4KrtM8wUOFCZ6mHK02NJxhvrR2UScOH3ybhWdLKcM

Le Syndicat Faction Vivante is of course different from the Le Syndicat from the 80s. But this new incarnation (Ruelgo + Saphi) returned to bruitist sound experiments. When they offered "Morceaux ..." to me I was very enthusiastic by the new tracks and happy and proud to release the CD on Aussaat. I agree with Ruelgo that the live LP "Interaction Sociale" is one of the best works Le Syndicat.

that's what it looked/sounded like:

only the live sound was a bit dancier, the guy's camera mic seems to kind of smear everything

the guys looked very competent at what they do
just not my cup of tea

Le Syndicat Faction Vivante "Interaction Sociale" LP
Aussaat
This is probably even better than "Morceaux de choix". Maybe it is the small saturation and analogue touch of LP format what gives material good finishing touch. Also, both sides are live shows. One is live in Brellfest (france) and other is HY! Festival (denmark). Sound quality is similar to studio works. Home made noise generators, microphone, digital interfaces and microphone. Cover says "edited and mixed by Ruelgo", so I'm not entirely sure if this was pure as-it-was live show or rather edited live shows. Whatever it is, succeeds. Extremely rich textures of all sorts of noisy electronic sounds, magled and processed. Some of the kaoz-pad esque sweeps, what I do not dislike when source material is somewhat inspiring.

As I have said before, one can't expect the raw and dark wibes of 80's Le Syndicat from this project, but Le Syndicat Faction Vivante created totally different kind of colorful and free flowing improvised sound collages that I genuinely like. So even if you usually hesitate "digital interfaces" or "warm electronic sound improvisations", I'd recommend to check out.

I like thisalbuma lot, all I have to go by is this and the stuff on the Broken Flag Box, but loved it as an LP. I really got into the choppy sounds of Entre Vifs who were somehow linked to Le Syndicat down the decades at some point, they also release on Aussatt too.

Yes, Zorin was a member of Le Syndicat and Ruelgo also a member of Entre Vifs in the 80s . I saw Entre Vifs perform (Zorin, Ruelgo, Mirka) at the V2 in NL. It was one of the best performances I ever witnessed.
There is a brand-new Entre Vifs CD titled "Offrande et Partage" on my label Aussaat.

I know, I reviewd it, both Entre Vifs albums you put out are amazing.
