ART ZOYD are planning a short tour of the U.K. in May 1992. The gigs will be as follows:
??-05-92 Glasgow ??-05-92 Brighton Festival ??-05-92 Canary Wharf, London
I suspect these will be in large cinemas, since they will be playing their current album "NOSFERATU" and this is generally performed live to accompany the old black & white horror movie projected on a large screen behind the band. The Arts Council would probably fund a mammoth project like this and therefore I expected the London show to be on the South Bank. More details urgently required. I consider "NOSFERATU" to be their best work of the last decade - Dense, Macabre, Chilling and very atmospheric - Powerful stuff indeed!
MANTRA will be releasing the remixed versions of ART ZOYD's first three albums on a double CD with extra previously unreleased material and the 'SANGRIA' single later this spring.
MUSEA hope to release Bernard Paganotti's 'WEIDORJE' album on CD soon. PAGA are currently trying to get their third album a CD release, this one was recorded circa 1989 / 1990.
Eric Serra has joined PAGA.
SEVENTH records next CD and K7 only release will be 'RETROSPEKTÏW III' - release date 6th April 1992. They also intend to re-release both 'MDK' and 'Köhntarkösz ' on CD in 1993, this time they will be mastered from the original studio tapes which were not available when the albums first came out on CD.
A&M in Japan had a set of US tapes which they used last year for the Japanese editions of these masterworks. A&M included the lyrics with the 'MDK' CD.
STELLA VANDER says that she is very pleased with the response to her new album 'D'EPREUVES D'AMOUR'.
GEORGES BESNIER has just had a short spell in hospital for treatment relating to his nasty car accident last year, but is apparently recuperating well.
CHRISTIAN VANDER intends to record another album with the TRIO this will be the next 100% NEW work to be released. After that will come the OFFERING album which includes 'COSMOS' & 'A FIÏÈH' as well as other pieces performed in recent years but previously unreleased.
