| 1. AKSAK MABOUL |
| 2. Before And After Bandits |
| 3. Originally included in CD format as a bonus to the 2018 vinyl reissue of Un peu de l'âme des bandits, this collection of rare live and studio recordings is now released digitally for the first time |
| 4. Over the course of ten tracks and 78 minutes of wild, lo-fi, shambolic music, the album presents some hidden aspects of the ever-morphing sound. It reveals some of the missing links between the various phases of the sinuous, still-unfolding Aksak story, starting around the 1977 debut Onze danses pour combattre la migraine , following through the Bandits album phase with Frith & Cutler , on to traces of a mad, little-documented avant-No Wave phase in 1980 , finallly landing in 2015 with an excerpt of the first show by the band's resurrected live incarnation, after a hiatus of some 30 years |
| 5. Before and After Bandits features no less than 17 of the band's successive members and guests which have been revolving around founder and main composer Marc Hollander, including band members Vincent Kenis, Véronique Vincent, Faustine Hollander, Yvon Vromman, and guests Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Geoff Leigh, Guigou Chenevier & more |
| 6. “Before & After Bandits traces an alternative, every bit as compelling history of … Jazz meets avant-classical, while brittle electronics spray delirious nonsense into the air…” |
