If I'm honest about it, this is perhaps one of my favorite discoveries to date. Every aspect of this obscure tape leaps out and tugs on each of my musical heartstrings. Leidenschaft were a short-lived but highly undervalued duo from France. I don't know very much about the members, other than their first names: Thierry and Denis. I'm completely unsure if either of them ever were involved in any other projects, but they certainly contributed 3 gems here. The best way I can describe this is if you took the best aspects of Xymox and Echo, then added a drop of French coldwave in the mix. That comparison is best noticed in "The Cities Of The Red Night", an immediately club-ready jam. It's tough, but the hit for me has to be "Who Cares?", which thankfully has a video to go along with it (see below). The last track settles down into a slower but quite beautiful ballad. You're going to love this one. Enjoy!Track List:
A1 - Who Cares?
A2 - The Cities Of The Red Night
B1 - A Long Way

This, like everything else that you post, is incredible. Thank you for keeping these gems alive.
This is genius! And his dancing really adds to the feel. Thank you.
the sound is gone into distortion I suppose.
Looks like Dennis from Always Sunny!
