Interviews
Bella Morte
«The name means "beautiful death". Gopal came up with the title, and it really works for us. At the time we wanted a name that clearly defined how dark our sound was and I think we succeeded.»

Syndikhat
«Extreme emotions are long ago forgotten. Nowadays, every emotion is just like the other. Nothing intense, nothing that gives me thrills or kicks. Just plain, neutral emotions and impressions. There aren't any extreme things in this world anymore, everything is just dull.»

Larsen
«I do not consider my music to be dark but as I said before--introspective. A lot of people are really scared by that but that's their problem and not mine.»

«It's that sense of annoyance you can feel every single day when you take a look at what's going on in the world, the hypocrisy of politicians, the interference of religions in the life of even those who in fact don't believe...

«That's why we get swamped with hundreds of same-sounding Terror-/Harsh-EBM bands, which totally dominate the club-scene. I really wonder how long it takes, that people get sick of this.

We left Poeme Electronique two years ago with the release of a renewed version of The Echoes Fade 7" and we already knew that something else was going to be released but I wasn't thinking it would be this huge! THE ECHOES FADE double vinyl album contains sixteen songs recorded during the 1981/1982 period of which fourteen are never been released before! Basically this is an extended version of the first Poeme Electronique unreleased album. The first record begins with the original 7" versions of "The echoes fade" plus "Voice" and follows with "Rendezvous" and "She's an image" the first tracks of the unreleased lot. Since the first melodies I hear echoes of Gary Numan and Toyah/Nina Hagen for the vocal parts and this is so true on "Theories" thanks to the rich female vocals and the synth lines. With "Inside his Head" the atmosphere gets darker and robotic late 70s synth lines (it recalls me of "Oxygene") are the perfect background to a theatrical vocal performance. A perfect atmosphere for a song that talks about someone in coma (the refrain says: "Oh God don't let him stay this way, hear my prayer and what I say, release him from the cage he's in, bring him out of this tormenting"). Also "Fragile" offers interesting atmospheres coupled with upbeat rhythms, a catchy refrain and tons of synth leads and bleeps. The second vinyl opens with a slow epic/atmospheric tune titled "It's in the atmosphere", it introduce you to a sort of horror poem where the refrain says: "It's in the atmosphere, on the wings of the breeze, the force of almighty, in the tombs of the beasts". Also "This night" is quite atmospheric while the following "My complicated personality" mix upbeat tempos, pop sensibility and a certain dark feeling. Poeme Electronique used electronic equipment but weren't minimal at all (all their songs have many synth sounds and rich arrangements) and unfortunately they had to wait for thirty years to get the exposure they deserve! If you are a vinyl addict don't miss this luxurious gate-fold edition with glossy inner sleeves with lyrics of all the songs, as well as individual mini 7” sleeves for each of them. Next to follow Anna Logue will issue also the CD but I don't know if it will include all the tracks.
