Without knowing it, the Bästard have marked their time. Only few years and albums were necessary so that they could leave an indelible trace on the French rock scene and also in the Us during the 90s.
The last news we have had from them dated back to 2005, during the exceptional reformation concert on the occasion of the 20 years of the Confort Moderne in Poitiers. Their unforgettable performance have afterwards been the subject of recording at Ici D'ailleurs. We knows well the relation that binds together Eric Aldea's project and the label Ici D'ailleurs where you can easily find dics of Zëro, Narcophony, Spade & Archer and of course the whole recording of Deity Guns in a beautiful 3cds box.

Today it is high the time for the Bästard that the whole discography (largely out of stock for a long time) be reissued . The new version of ''The Acoustic Machine'' has been remastered with an improved artwork and for the first time, a vynil version will be available wih two doubles of LP gatefold. Inside you will find telluric rock, some experimentations, heartbreaking and delightful moments of tension.

Those who knew the Bastard during the 90s remember inevitably the power of their noisy rock . Concerning the young generation, he is certainly more familiar with the music of Zëro. In every case for both this reissue is doubtless a retake to (re) discover the sound effects that have impressed independent rock leaders who are Tortoise or SonicYouth.




''The Accoustic Machine is the matrix of what will be called later the post-rock movement. In short it is a not to missed album and all indie music lovers must have it.'' X Silence.net
