"Minimal Wave is proud to present a second 12" single from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. This one is in the same vein as the Dust Under Brightness/Highway Dark Veins 12". The single features an epic, pioneering, late 80s underwater techno masterpiece called 'La Piscine' (1989) accompanied by a slow, dark, drugged out 15 minute number on the flip side entitled 'Calling Somewhere' (1990), which sounds especially relevant today. Neither of these tracks has ever been released before. The pressing is limited to 999 copies. The first 500 are pressed on 160 gram clear highlighter yellow vinyl, accompanied by a hand-numbered matte printed sleeve."

2009 release. "Having made over 200 recordings, I.A.V. were one of the most prolific bands of the French underground scene. Headed by Laurent Prot, the band released many cassettes all featuring his wonderful collage work. Their sound is extremely original, overflowing with character, and crossing between genres: electro, minimal, noise, and even garage. 'With the passing of time, In Aeternam Vale's work remains astonishingly powerful, cold and caustic with its uncompromising minimalism, but also provocative and capable to smash your ass on the dance-floor' (Douche Froide Magazine, 2002). Selections from over 150 cassette recordings made between 1982-1989. Pressed on 180 gram clear vinyl. Comes in a heavyweight matte jacket with cover artwork by Laurent Prot."

"Minimal Wave is proud to present a second volume of selections from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. Culled from a vast archive of recordings, these tracks were originally self-released on various cassettes by the band's frontman Laurent Prot between 1985-1988. The sound ranges from early EBM/industrial to gristly coldwave to dark reverby guitar psychedelia. This record illustrates the stylistic range that, through experimentation and fearlessness, Laurent Prot and Pascal Aubert were capable of producing. To quote a review from In Aeternam Vale's self-titled LP (2009) "'All the caustic, lazy, lowbrow/highbrow genius is there and even though the music is still raw, ramshackle and DIY-sounding, it's produced and mastered like a motherfucker!'. MW036 is a limited edition pressing of 999 hand-numbered copies, housed in matte heavy weight printed sleeve and black paper innersleeve."
