PEINE PERDUE (Coco Gallo/Stephane Argillet) - excerpt from the album "No Souvenir" (Cold Beats records, 2014)

Les buildings en regard
Se mesurent
En bonne et due forme

Hauts étages
Aux remèdes héroïques

Face à face de béton
De taille verticale
Analogue

J'en ai le cyanure à la bouche

Et dans le cou
Ce même signe particulier
Que vous

Un point
Ignoré des cartes
Diagonalement opposé
Au vôtre

Amoureux de personne

Votre élan infaillible
De légèreté
Et de grande vitesse
S'amenuise

Amoureuse de personne

Mes excès lents irréversibles
De liberté
Et d'offrande tristesse
Me grisent


Peine Perdue - AMOUREUX DE PERSONNE

Taken from forthcoming Lp DDR021 Seppuku- A 1985-1986 compilation

All is black when the lights are on
nothing rhymes it’s been so long… 

A romantic work endowed with a cinematically delivered ambivalence… A collective of obscure sound maneuvers accompanying sculptured figures as those do perpetually induce imagery, sentimental vigilance and movement… It is somewhere within this low-lighting scene, that Film Noir appear… It is somewhere within this sweet melancholic ambience that Film Noir denote their musical existence… Born in the mid ‘80s, out of seminal dark-wave acts Final Sense and Hands of Cain, Film Noir positioned themselves in a special manner within the Greek underground musical milieu. Playing a mixture of dreamlike new wave and dark wave, the group not only appealed to the audience but it also demonstrated the strong musical impetus of the relevant national scene. Never-Ending Dream was the group’s first work (originally released in 1986). In fact, including six artfully delivered syntheses, this mini-album was soon to become an absolute rarity, sought after by fans and collectors. Not so strange might one think judging those syntheses’ fullness, considering those songs’ dynamics in terms of coherence and inspiration. First, the song Excuse: a proper introduction to a romantic journey impelled by the Fluid Idols toward the melancholic spin of the Drowned Kiss; an authentic dark-wave masterpiece.  Following, Decry, a resurface to rhythmically (however, seemingly) brighter landscapes further explored as one gets exposed to the Rainfall. And then, Sin a thoughtful song seemingly ending the Never Ending Dream whilst re-revealing the continuous inner-tension characterizing the album.
Finally, this re-release is accompanied by a 7” single including two previously unreleased tracks. More precisely, Passion of Memories and Glass, further dreamy and sophisticated sound strokes see the light of day 26 years after their recording and happily provide us all with additional material from this special act.  
Never Ending Dream Lp plus Passion of Memories/Glass 7” single come in a strongly limited edition of 500 copies so act fast!
