Réseau D'Ombres - Sotcha


With a big thanks to Rommel, I can present to you another Réseau D'Ombres, the "Sotcha" album. Réseau D'Ombres is born in 1983 in Laval, in France. At the base of the project, Ernst which was already active in punk formations, with vocals and the keyboards and the Hamards brothers who will set up bass and drums for the group. The trio quickly records a cassette, “Abracaz”, packed in a plastic bag covered with cabalistic signs. A few months later, the group gives a concert which will enable them to leave a second cassette drawn from this live concert. Musically the group chooses a mixture of post punk and cold wave which fits in the line of similar bands of that era. The group produces there own productions and their reputation extends in France, in particular thanks to the fanzines which support Réseau D'Ombres. At the end of 1984, it is time for another live cassette and in 1985 the recording of the first 7", “Mirrors”, and got them an appearance on FR3 Brittany. At the end of 1985, the first album, “Scotcha” which will provide them another TV appearance. Sotcha was released as vinyl by Kool ( CACT 1001) in 1985.
