Les Sales Combles
Les Salles Vides
12" EP
(self-released, 1989)
Some friends and I stayed at the apartment of Christian "Dodo" Addor for a night back in 1990. In the morning, I was chatting with him and looking through his record collection when Débile Menthol came up (I think I spied their albums on his shelf). I only knew his first name at that point, so I had no idea he was a member! |

Shatter
Each Moment
7" single
(Fuck-Far-Out-Political-Records, 1989)
I was given a copy of this by the band when I was in Der Schweiz back in 1989. The only time I ever got a death threat during my college radio show was one of the times I spun this lil' slab o' wax. I didn't even get a death threat when I played all four sides of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. They followed this with an LP but I'm not sure if there was anything further. This, simply by itself, is a venerable legacy. |

Débile Menthol
Live en Europe 1982-84
cassette
(Edition Unbeirrt, 1984)
Débile Menthol were a group of Swiss nutters in the early 1980s. While they were too late to actually be a part of Rock in Opposition, which included folks like Henry Cow, Univers Zero, and Etron fou Leloublan, it makes sense to me to think of them as related. Pedants may now bite off my head, if they so desire. |
