Though Marquis de Sade didn't achieve mass popularity, the band has earned nearly cult status, and has achieved some recognition alongside '80s underground faves like Taxi Girl during the mid-2000s new wave/post-punk revival.TRACK LISTING 01 - Mad Jack 02 - Caution 03 - Tears (Original Arrangement) 04 - Soul In Isolation 05 - Swamp Thing 06 - Time / The End Of Time 07 - Seriocity 08 - In Answer 09 - Childhood 10 - I'll Remember + Limited Edition Free Bonus Album 11 - Tears (Full Arrangement) 12 - Paradiso 13 - Inside Out 14 - John, I'm Only Dancing Written by David Bowie 15 - Tomorrow Never Knows Written by Lennon & McCartney Label: Geffen Records Format: CD, Album, Reissue (LP) Country: US (UK) / Released: 1997 (1986) Style: New Wave, Indie Rock, Ethereal. Among numerous projects, Franck Darcel formed Octobre and went on to produce rising star Etienne Daho. The band's 1981 breakup led to the formation of half a dozen groups, such as Marc Seberg (including Philippe Pascal, Pierre Thomas, and Anzia) and Les Nus (featuring Christian Dargelos). As a matter of fact, this 1981 release was their last. Their material having made a strong impression and after the release of another EP (Rythmiques) in 1980, Marquis de Sade recorded Rue de Siam at separate sessions in Paris and London, showing signs of strained relations within the band. After a first EP (Air Tight Cell/Henry), their first album, 1979's Dantzig Twist, was recorded in collaboration with Arnold Turboust (later to collaborate with Etienne Daho) on keyboards and Daniel Paboeuf on saxophone. In three years, Franck Darcel (guitar), Christian Dargelos (keyboards), Philippe Pascal (vocals), and an ever-changing set of additional musicians came up with two major records in French pop/rock history, both containing witty, dark, and exciting music comparable to Howard Devoto's Magazine, mixing post-punk and new wave with a drop of funk to produce an intensely nervous, modern, yet romantic sound, often copied but rarely equaled. Formed in 1977, Marquis de Sade were one of the truly classic French combos of the late '70s and early '80s, leaving a lasting imprint on the Rennes music scene.
