Poesie Noire - Existential Despair, Metaphysical Distress, Ontological Ungludation And Cosmic Meltdown
Ripped from a compact disc compilation released on Antler Records (ANTLER 082 CD) in 1988 to high quality lossless flac audio. Blog follower Kristian has kindly donated a collection of Poésie Noire cd rips and amongst them was fine compilation of their early releases. As with most Belgian acts of their ilk, they mutated from quality minimalist synth into grunting foot-stomping techno-terrorists and perhaps put their best years behind them. Although I have no clue what Ontological Ungludation is (and yes I've googled it), this cd is a highly recommended listen for those like me who didn't pay them much attention back in the day.
