Description
"We have no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Do not forget it", recommended Louis-Ferdinand Celine to his French. If only they would listen to him.
"Douce France" is a hard judgement on the Allies and their bombings on French cities in the 1940s. The first side opens with a report on death and damage caused by the bombs, with voices talking about house destroyed, civilians killed and other disasters. While they talk, a subtle, frightening noise starts to rise, turns louder and louder, resembling the roar of bombers' engines. All of a sudden, a deep, obsessive, percussive noise explodes, like bombs being dropped all over the place, and all hell breaks loose. This is Les Joyaux De La Princesse's most effective and frightening record, if you play it loud you actually feel like being under a bombing. And it's not a pleasant sensation at all...
This is one of the rarest and most sought after items from the Industrial past. Released by Tesco in August 1997, in only a few copies, "Douce France" comes with 4 postcards, a letter written in French, a stamp on the textured front cover and another stamp within.price rating
