Infrastition
17/03/2012, Didier PIETERS

80’s nostalgia on the verge of insanity, pure and raw …

Les Maîtres [1981 – 1984] are a French band from Paris. One K7 [V.I.S.A., 1983]. That seems to be all recorded output documenting their existence …

Until now! Infrastition, once more, does a great job at reviving our “ancient” heroes! “Les Maîtres” offers demos and live-songs [of acceptable to very good sound quality] by the Parisian Cult band of the same name, 2 CD’s, 17 tracks, 2 drummers, 2 bass-players and insane, dark, theatrical vocals …Joy division “à la française”? Too easy! Les Maîtres have their own unique sound: driven, passionate, honest, exciting, melancholic, exploring boundaries of Cold Wave, New Wave and Post-punk …

“Les Maîtres”? A relic from times long gone or “80’s sounds for today” indeed? Check it out! Released on September 9th 2011 and dedicated to Laurent Nicolle [vocals], “qui nous manqué tellement”.

When one is young, one does not think about the fact that one day everything will be over. And that is also beautiful and exciting, because as you get older, you look at the past differently.

I link the strength I have had to go up and down the tens of thousands of steps, to confront the heat and the hustle and bustle of the crowds, more and more directly with the nature spirit Ganriki.
