Die Form - 1

The debut cassette by industrial weirdo Phillipe Fichot, self-released on Bain Total in 1978. Yes, 1978! That puts Die Form in the same era as the first-wave industrial bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, and SPK, though Die Form were more minimal and icy and altogether more French than their peers. Though his themes of S&M and death obsession were present at the beginning, this early tape is more abstract and odd than Die Form's goth/disco of later years.
