A new edition of this album that sold out right away on its first release. Two popular cult acts collaborate for an ode to the green fairy. This edition follows the music of the vinyl box set rather than the original CD.
After the success of both the Absinthe CD and boxset here are the two 10" from the "Folie Verte" box in a single digipack CD elegantly designed with remastered sound. No extra material or graphics but all the music from the original release.
Includes some powerful studio tracks along with the complete live in Sintra, the only time Blood Axis and Les Joyaux de la Princesse ever presented Absinthe on stage. Beware, l'absinthe rend fou. 17 tracks, 61mn.

My first impressions have been disappointing. It sounds almost like a rough cut for Folie Verte.
To be fair, I'll crack out the "Fairy Squeezin's" and relisten during L'Heuer Verte and repost later...

Ok, sorry for the long delay.
This CD simulates often the sounds of an old phonograph so uping the volume a bit and centering yourself between your speakers helps with some of the nuances of this recording. Drinking some quality absinthe while listening will certainly make for a more enjoyable experience! ;-)
