Le Talium - "La Naissance du Talium" (MAST LTD 06)

Another debut from a French artist(and another white record with no info). A pretty bold debut at that, comprising of two shorter and pretty abstract pieces, one intense number in the vein of old DJ Freak/Noizecreator, and an entire side which is pretty slow and brooding, and built around a Pandit Pran Nath-esque drone. Le Talium is still active, most recently on No-Tek's Torsion Féconde compilation. Mars Assault seems to be defunct now, although they did manage to squeeze out over 20 records in the space of a few years, most famous of which were probably by John Dark and future Deathchanters Sammy & Bryan Fury.

Pretty fine old record all in all, interesting to see the focus and sense of direction present even in his early work.

As there's none on the record, the tracklisting is stolen from Discogs. I assume someone there knows what they're talking about.
A1 Break (1:51)
A2 Efficace Trash (6:27)
A3 Break Doll (1:02)
B1 Fragle Laugh (9:12)
