So here's the follow-up from the previous post, three years later the seminal Rapsodie compilation, gathering the pionneers of the under-developped French Hardcore scene.
There was quite an "Hardcore Evolution" going on in France back in 1989, the "alternative rock" movement was slowly decomposing and some of its major players were absorbed by the mainstream music industry, and, due to the popularity of Crossover, the local metal kids started to be exposed to American Hardcore music, which was "fresh" and "hip" at that time, almost until 1992...
This compilation didn't aged well in my opinion, it lacks the raw punk energy that can be found in "Rapsodie" for example, but it still has its moments. Highlights are the tracks from Les Gnomes, Parkinson Square and Tears Of A Doll ( first appearance from this post Heimat-Los band )
Nomed and Endless Diatribe are in the "metal" side of things, Original Disease ( formerly Final Blast ) and Apologize lean toward Emo, M.S.T. and Krull suck really hard, but again it's a just a matter of personal taste...
On a side note, this record was released a 12inch vinyl with a booklet, i bought the tape version just out of curiosity for the extra track from Tears Of A Doll.
