"Thierry Muller -- Ilitch's head -- is the multi-instrumentalist dark experimental French composer who started his musical career with the band Arcane as an underground electronics improvisations outfit around the years 1974. Albums Periodkmintrouble 1978 & 10 suicides 1980 were Ilitch first two works followed by the Ruth pop synth project Polaroid roman photo in 1985. All three are now reissued on CD with many unreleased bonus material by Fractal Records. Well received by many critics today, Ilitch took a solid place in the French underground scene from that area and was a serious source of influence on several groups/artists such as The Legendary Pink Dots for instance. After 24 years, the third and brand new Ilitch album is now released, titled ironically Hors Temps / Out of time and was composed during the last five years. More than a gap, it's a generation of sounds in between... and Thierry Muller is at the rendez-vous : a full album in 9 electropopsonics excursions through the time with a pleiade of colored sounds (vocals, guitar, vocals, drums, percussions, farfisa, rhythmic programs, treated piano etc...). >From the mellow pop to the angry waves, Hors Temps / Out of time is a blink at the early hours and a poetic reflexion and vision on life. With the participation of the great musician poet Philippe Doray. Subtle pop power for adult entertainment. Rendez-vous Hors Temps."

Title:	Lena's Life & Other Stories
Label:	FRACTAL (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	FRAC 185CD

"New studio Ilitch 5th album, after Periodikmintrouble (1978), 10 Suicides (1980), Hors Temps-Out Of Time (2004) and Rainy House (1978-2005). In fact, Lena's Life & Other Stories can be really seen as the suite album to 10 Suicides. It's beautifully composed in short tracks, as an electronica-screaming-melodies-trip full of guitar: indeed this album shows Thierry Muller returning to his first instrument ! And Lena's Life is absolutely the ultimate 'spirit-Ilitch-sound' album which includes some of Thierry Muller's best song!"
