"Narthex" means "railed-off western portico" or "ante-nave" in early Christian churches for women, penitents, and catechumens. Narthex is also a trio featuring (at the beginning) Daniel Denis (Univers Zero, Art Zoyd), Alain Neffe (Pseudo Code, Human Flesh, Bene Gesserit) and Nicolas de Villemarqué (Nuwage Music). They had a very different musical background (mostly electric/electronic rock) and decided to work in the field of a totally acoustic music recorded live (two microphones + portable DA T) in churches of their area. After several recording sessions, Nicolas de Villemarqué decided to leave the group. ln order to complete the trio, Daniel Denis and Alain Neffe ask the participation of some of their friends. Anna Homler (The Sugar Connection, Cro-Magnon), Michel Berckmans (Univers Zero, Julverne, Aksak Maboul, Von Zamla) and Daniel Malempré (M.A.L., Human Flesh) accepted the challenge and succeed to fit into their musical universe. Never released before and recorded from 1994 to 1999, Superstitions features rhythmic, exotic, deep, and primitive sounds for postmodern ears.
