about

Dark Entries is excited to release the 30th anniversary edition of ADN' Ckrystall's debut album "Jazz'Mad." ADN' Ckrystall is the moniker of synthesizer wizard Érick Moncollin from Tarbes, France. In 1977 Moncollin spent time in Paris experimenting with synthesizers, jamming alongside composers Vangelis and Tim Blake. It was here that he obtained a prototype of the Korg MS-20, a legendary synthesizer. While attending art school in Tolouse, Érick met Benoit Hutin, who offered a studio for the recording of the "Jazz'Mad" album. The entire album was recorded over a 4 day period in 1980. The sound of "Jazz'Mad" revolves around the synthesizer, utilizing the instrument to all its capacities. ADN was Influenced by New Wave bands that incorporated keyboards into their songs like Gary Numan/Tubeway Army, and Simple Minds, as well as Prog Rock and Krautrock bands such as Hawkwind, Heldon, Gong, and Neu!. The result is an unconventional and discordant conglomeration of synthesizers, drum machines, and vocals that cradle the edge of the brain. Most of the songs are long instrumental pieces but when Érick sings his lyrics favor love, drugs, and science fiction themes.

Great to see this issued. I'd spent so long with only my copy of Hidden Faces that I'd almost forgotten how excellent their other stuff was. moggydon

Lumberjacks, right here, thrill, breakdown and maybe gieshas tune on a good day. The rest is too sparse and slow. After that killer porn trilogy nothing was going to come close. I'd say this and candida cosmica are closest in sound and thats probably why they got released back to back. Lo fi bleeps and blurps from the early to mid 70s, though candida is rewarding the more you listen. The mid stuff here, still not so much. mattyg107
