Etant Donnés
Re-Up

1999
Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier, Fr - CDSA54061

Alan Vega w/Etant Donnés

Recorded as usual at 6/8 Studios in New York, a record by the french Etant Donnés with guests: Alan Vega, Lydia Lunch (ex-8-eyed spy, Teenage Jesus), Mark Cunningham (Mars, Don King, Jon Gavanti, Raeo) and Genesis P.Orridge (ex-Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle, Thee Majesty). The results is rather sinister : if you consider that Suicide's records were celebrating life, then this one is about Alan Vega's nightmares ! (or as someone said, they all belong to the "no wave" of the "no wave").
Etant Donnés: Music // Alan Vega: vocals Etant Donnés: Music // Genesis P-Orridge: vocals // Bachir Attar (leader of the Master Musicians of Jajouka): Ghaita

Etant Donnés: Music // Lydia Lunch: vocals
Mark Cunningham: Trumpet
Secret Tear (Etants Donnés/Genesis P-Orridge)
Sexodrome (Etants Donnés/Mark Cunningham/Lydia Lunch)  

Etant Donnes recorded quite at the same time, and also for Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier une second CD with Michael Gira (Swans).
Etant Donnes are two french brothers who are generally writing music for (or to fit with) a film they are making or previously made. Their name was choosen from some kind of happening- peep-show- art-exhibit by Marcel Duchamp.

Sulphur - BBSULCD001

Future Pilote vs Galaxy of Sound

Future Pilot (a.k.a. Sushil K Dade ex-member of the Soup Dragons and The Telstar Ponies and current of the BMX Bandits) made a tracks and then sent them out to a bunch of different musicians like Kim Fowley, Brix Smith (ex-The Fall), James Kirk (Orange Juice), Alan Vega,... for "deconstruction"... results ("a unique collection of a series of ongoing collaborations with artists from all around the world") is very interesting.

Christophe
Bevilacqua
1996
Epic (Fr.) - 484136-2 (cd)

Christophe & Alan Vega

Vega's contribution to some Christophe's album may seem strange considering the image of Christophe -something like traditional french pop singer. That image seems to be false! That LP (after 13 years of silence) wasn't not a success, maybe precisely because it's rock. Alan Vega contributes to "Rencontre à l'as Vega", about some poker game of them (he even said that Christophe represents his french inspiration).

Rencontre à l'as Vega (avec Alan Vega)
Je cherche toujours
In the french newspaper Libération (7/05/96), Serge Loubens said : "Bevilacqua is for sure some french rock manifesto of teh moment. An album of such a research, such maniac, that it couln't be an example. A meticulous mess, tormented, labirynthous, ...." (info. given through Prozion Rock Zone)


Rencontre à l'as Vega (Christophe-J.R.Mariani-Alan Vega/ Christophe)
Alan - Yes - On fait le ... a little poker - Yes - Voilà - Pass - Passe yes - Coupe - I don't want to cut - Trois cents - Alright, oh fuck I give you a break - Alright I will... - You see - Yes - Hum, non c'est à toi d'parler j'suis d'achats - It's a hard decision - Oui j'te vois - Oh OK OK so you win.
- The kind of cards you're giving me here, man, terrible o I pass alright I pass - Ok - Now that's better - T'aurais tendance à fumer, tu vois... - La musique est magnifique - Hé j'te vois - a toi d'parler - Waouh Waouh a couple more inside here too. Another one, thanks baby, just what i needed. Are you passing??? - Donne moi deux cartes. - A paire of nine baby, I'll say two bucks on that one - Two - two bucks - It's not enough, I'll say I say a buck I'll make it easy for you as it's the last game - Oh get out of here... kings of what... six... I got you though - Bien bien bien - You owe me about ten boxs baby - Great - The big game is I owe you a million dollars or something like that - Oh Ok Ok - Am always kidding you know am always kidding - but am not goin' to forget...
