Description: | French coldwave act Corps Diplomatique comes to Dark Entries with Dans Ta Nuit, a collection of tracks recorded between 1984-1987. Founded in Marseille by Olivier Aubin, Marie-Eve Bensussan, Patrick Loubet and Nicolas Pélissie, Corps Diplomatique remain shrouded in mystery. The band only released one 7" during their time, 1988's Paradis I, in addition to appearing with three tracks on the La Muse Vénale compilation, a holy grail for devotees of the French coldwave. Dans Ta Nuit brings us nine tracks from this cult band, seven of which have never before appeared on vinyl. These cuts are raw and unembellished but not at the expense of dramatic tension. Tracks like "Sin of Flesh" and "Eros Phobia" deliver the kind of high octane mix of despair and ecstasy that coldwave enthusiasts crave. Comparisons are inevitably to be made with fellow Marseille act Martin Dupont, and the bands were indeed close; Alain Séghir from Martin Dupont lent Corps Diplomatique synthesizers for their own recording endeavors. Cold hearts care for each other. The cover art for Dans Ta Nuit includes photographs of the band from a 1985 concert in Marseille, and the record includes an insert that includes a photograph of the band as well as lyrics and notes."Dans Ta Nuit" is a captivating LP by Corps Diplomatique, released by the renowned label Dark Entries. This album showcases the unique blend of coldwave and minimal synth that defined the French underground scene in the early 1980s. Corps Diplomatique, though short-lived, left an indelible mark with their haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, making "Dans Ta Nuit" a sought-after gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The band's ability to merge icy electronics with poetic storytelling set them apart during their active years. Dark Entries, based in San Francisco, has built a reputation for unearthing lost treasures from the post-punk and electronic music archives, consistently delivering high-quality reissues that honor original artistry while introducing it to new audiences. |
