>and I get the impression that they want to be the French Dead Can Dance.
>Obviously, DCD is heaven-sent, wheras CDA are merely earth-bound, but
>I like them very much. Chloe's voice is floaty and ethereal. The vocals
>tend to be mixed down too far, but they're still nice. I get the impression

>(no Lisa Gerrard, mind you, but then, she's an angel and no mere human

>These albums are on Lively Art Records (says: Distributed by New Rose)

>Au Val Des Roses (1990) is ARTY 31 CD.
>Un Automne A Loroy (no date listed) is ARTY 19 CD

>An address is listed in ...A Loroy

>Collection D'Arnell Andrea
>23 Rue Des Briqueteries
>45500 Gien - France

>I highly recommend it for Dead Can Dance/Bel Canto-ish fans.

	Geee...I did not think somebody knew of collection d'arnell
	andrea out of france. Well...First the address above is
	correct , i think they might have another CD out by now 
	and i dont think they want to be seen as the french dead
	can dance ( well mainly because you dont seem them very
	often ..heheehe )  ..well..i would more see them as an
	art - group than anything like a real band , at least
	that's the way i feel when i saw them...

	huh..that's really weird..somebody's talking about an obscure
	french band on here...well...they used to play with another
	band called "clair obscur" , which might have some tapes out , but
	no Cd..
