Corps Diplomatique
Dans Ta Nuit
Founded in Marseille by Olivier Aubin, Marie-Eve Bensussan, Patrick Loubet and Nicolas Plissie, cold wave group Corps Diplomatique remains shrouded in mystery. The band only released one 7-inch during its active days, 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 cold wave. Now the LP 'Dans Ta Nuit' brings us nine tracks from this cult band, dating back to the years 1984-1987, seven of which have never before appeared on vinyl. These cuts are raw and unembellished but not at the expense of dramatic tension.
