Piscine Et Charles - Quart De tour, Mon amour

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Les Disques du Crepuscule present a new, remastered vinyl edition of Quart de Tour, Mon Amour, the highly collectible debut album by enigmatic Belgian duo Piscine Et Charles, originally released by the label in 1984. A duo comprising Dominique Outers and Luc Raemdonck, Piscine Et Charles taped their debut album at Daylight Studio in Brussels with engineer Didier de Roos (Univers Zero, Tideline), along with several guest musicians and classical singer Lucie Grauman. A concept album of sorts, Quart de Tour, Mon Amour (which translates as Quarter Turn, My Love) combines literary lyrics with music described as a 'neat fusion of coldwave, electronics and lounge-jazz, predating acid-jazz by about five years and conjuring impressive atmospheres.' Despite failing to reach a wide audience at the time, the album has since become a sought-after collector's item, with the title track recently appearing on acclaimed anthology set Uneven Paths: Deviant Pop From Europe on Dutch label Music From Memory. 'A very unique sound, Piscine Et Charles explore a poetic, romantic and enigmatic musical realm where synth-pop meets jazz and spoken word.
