Finally we've finished the work on this album, that was started in 1996. It's going to be the first regular release of Charmant Rouge!
In late december of 1996 we adapted a huge basement vault in a house in the village of Apetlon (Burgenland/Austria) in the ice cold lowlands of the "Seewinkel" to a sound studio to record the parts of music we had collected over the whole year. The purpose of our 10 days conclave was to get our then 55 minutes long noise-rock-piece on a-dat tapes to release it as our first album. Unfortunately we never focussed on finishing this piece of work. The sound on this unreleased-work is carried by extremely rockistic parts that are mixed with analogue-synth-sounds, noise, hums, trash and an very abstract usage of voice.
"Apetlon" was presented as part of "Synart 3" on May 8, 1997 at Cselley Mühle, Oslip (Austria).
