More Info

Kind of "best of" with material from the second LP AITHER (6 pieces, 1989), and 3 pieces from the split LP with H.N.A.S. (1989), plus 10 unreleased tracks from the same period 1987-1990, at the time when the Persian / Arabian influences (beautiful vocals by Mitra Kyrou, rhythms) were very big and lead to a unique amalgam.


"VOX POPULI! is an adventurous band in existence since the 80's. Based in Paris, France, our style incorporates elements from psychedelic music, Persian folklore and all kind of mind elevating sound forms. Vox Populi! was the project initiated by French artist Axel Kyrou born in 1982. A first release, the coldwave-influenced mini-album "Ectoplasmies" was released in 1983 as a collaboration with the French industrial act Pacific 231. Following his meeting of the Persian girl Mitra and her brother Arach in 1984, Kyrou changed the direction of his musical output in order to meet his passion for oriental sounds, electronics and psychedelic music. The albums "Myscitismes" and "Aither" (1989) involved numerous musicians with varied cultural background. More sound experimentations lead in 1990 to the release on the Odd Size label of a split album with German experimental project HNAS (Hirsche nicht aufs Sofa), lead by Christophe Heemann. Soon after, the members of Vox Populi! split, the project was dismantled and Kyrou artistic activities moved to photography. It was only last year, when the Russian label Monochrome Vision released an album called "Cthuluh Revisitation", containing both the collaboration with Pacific 231 and tracks taken from releases on the German label Cthulhu (the label that first released Blood Axis and other legendary acts such as Ain Soph, Changes, Actus...). The last output by Vox Populi! was (in early 2008) the CD "Aramesh", a new collaboration with Pacific 231. This CD on Infrastition collects tracks from "Aither" (01-06), from the "Odd Size" release (07-09) + unreleased tracks." [label info]
