16 unreleased songs from the label bands including NLF3+Dominique Petitgand, first The BERG SANS NIPPLE show, PROHIBITION and PURR songs... Treasures from 1996 to 2006.

Nicolas Laureau a.k.a Don Nino is one of those French artists who builds up their own musical idiosyncrasy. Having shouted whispers within mythical group Prohibition (1989-1999), he revealed for the first time his murmured cries on his beautiful first album "Real Seasons Make Reasons". Today, he returns with twelve impressive titles that slowly shift from softness to the blackness of noir movies but also to lightness and sense of humor. The unit, produced with a modern esthetics, locates Don Nino in an abstract community of contemporary singers and musicians, somewhere between Arto Lindsay, Jim O' Rourke, Devendra Banhart and Vincent Gallo.

Pascal Bouaziz and his band deliver a third beautiful album, incomparible french lyrics, somewhere between Lou reed, Gainsbourg and Sonic Youth.

Shane Aspegren and Lori sean berg, forming explosive duet BERG SANS NIPPLE, have recorded their first album in Nebraska in January 2003. Great instrumentals with drums, loops, wurlitzer, echos and minimalist electronics somewhere between Satie and GodSpeedYou. Great collaboration on this album with Luke Sutherland, Do Make Say Think, Maria Talyor.

Don Nino, a.k.a. Nicolas Laureau, ex-leader of Prohibition and co-founder of Prohibited Records, has finally decided to release some of the material he's been keeping secret for a few years. His uncommon approach to modern folk music gives an original form to these songs. The album shifts from a mixture of deconstructed pop and bittersweet bossa nova, to shades of jazz and darker atmospheres. On stage, Don is accompanied by Lori Chun Berg on Wurlitzer, guitar, and trumpet and Shane Aspegren (BSN, Songs:Ohia, Bright Eyes,...) on drums. read the bio

Soeza's strenght lies in the multiplicity of tastes and styles which they have learned to weave into a unique and satisfaying whole. Soul, brassy, seven musicians from Bristol : Soul-rock.
begining in february 2001. For those who love Fugazi, Stereolab, James Brown and The Ex !!!

Created by Prohibited Records co-founders, this project proposes a spontaneous approach of instrumental composition. The trio cite 70's jazz, afrobeat and experimental rock as inspirations. The use of sampler-pedals for guitars & bass, a Macintosh G3 and a small sampler put their music in dialgue certain contemporary mouvements ( electronica).

The general atmosphere situates the band in the post-rock realm though they frequent diverse musical frontiers, shifting between contemporary and improvised music. The guitar style has been likened to that of Derek Bailey and the complexity of the music is brought together by a narrative approach in singing. Patton is creative, driven, minimalist and modern. In these last few months, the band has recorded new material for a full length album ÔJ-R for Jaune Ð RougeÕ .

After their first album "Whales Lead To The Deep Sea", here comes a beautiful sequel. "Open Transport" keeps the entire identity of Purr's style while exploring new soundscapes. Electronic sounds, instrumental arrangements and vocal positioning in the mix definitely situate the band at the edge of rock, french "chanson", and experimentation. Is it a new generation clash between Brigitte Fontaine and Tortoise??

The new album by the quartet Heliogabale is simply inspirational. Recorded by Al Sutton in 1999 (Don Caballero, Today's The Day etc.), "Mobile Home"reveals a new orientation for the band with full atmospheric segments, innovative mixes, samples and a beautiful melodic approach in Sasha Andres' singing. For one song, Heliogabale joined with musicians Eugene Rodinson(Oxbow/USA) and Jerome Lorichonberg (Purr/Fr).

This three piece band from Paris is one of the french post-rock revelations of the year. With their first record on the label "Beau Caillou" they demonstrate a subtle mix of math-rock and streamlined melodies. They opened for June of 44 in France.
