Message- Dernière Nuit 7”
Arguably the best French 7”, second only to Coldreams’ classic Morning Rain, previously exhumed here. Like Coldreams, this one has also been posted in the past, but never at the greatest sound quality, as the most rare of records are hard to find in mint condition. Strangely enough, the insert here claims that 2000 of these were pressed, but very few seem to own this one, so I wonder just how many survived the 80s.
This single was released in 1988 on Krezimikroïd, a very DIY French label responsible for some other very-hard-to-find releases. More Message appear on several classic coldwave compilatioms, including the original L’Appel De La Muse (legendary), and the Esom Elion Esmaris K7. Another track appears on the Phantasm Compilation Vol. 1, which is very hard to track down. If anyone out there has this tape, please don’t hesitate to drop a line. Otherwise, here’s a crystal clear rip of this coldwave masterpiece!

This song has been going through my head since I heard it on the radio so many many years ago… that the real sound is no longer the same as it is in my head (or vice versa ; )
Thanks a million!!!

Thanks so much for posting this. I heard the song in a snowboarding video called Yearning for Turning vol 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXtOcBfSCE) and had to learn more about this song. It’s not on Spotify! Thank you so much for the download so I can listen to it while snowboarding.
