Little Nemo - Froide (1986)

Today's post is the first Little Nemo K7 (which has never been officially released).

But I prefer "Froide" because of truly DIY style.

Clair Obscur - In Out (1988)

This longplay wasn't so post-punky such as early works.
Created by the influence of classical music and old french cabaret,
"In Out" got a little other audience, but I still like this one.
I'm really charmed with these neoclassical romantic things.

Tracklist:

01) Defini
02) Blume
03) Artistic slaughter
04) Auld lang syne
05) The last encounter
06) Valse
