Vicious Circle (france)
Barbed Wire Slides
Lucie Dehli and Stephan Ink are a duo of experimental musicicians, that started its musical carrier under the name of Vicious Circle on legendary British label SomeBizarre (Soft Cell, The The, Einsturzende Neubauten...). Barbed Wire Slides came originally out in 1990, and is now re-released with a previously unavailable track of the same period. The band later released two albums in France under the band-name VIEW on Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier (DAS). The voice of Lucie Dehli attracts the attention of German label Hyperium, and the song Bikeride has been included in the extremely successful Heavenly Voices sampler. A few years ago, the 2 musicians decide to settle in Belgium where they now take part in the experimental collective project of Jean Marie Mathoul -48 Cameras- (featuring David Coulter, Michael Gira, Rodolphe Burger..) and in 2006 they give birth to Elephant Leaf, a nuanced evolution of their previous works.
