Check out this brilliant review (in french) of my work on Inside : here's the link (there's two pages)

* * *

I have a Myspace, yes, against my will.
I'm still amazed how even closed people could say they're really happy they have discovered my work on this disgusting platform while there's a ton of music here on this really website since years...

Anyway, it's here : http://www.myspace.com/fechanfrault

I've played at le CAPC in Bordeaux. As usual, i told to no one. I've done an awesomely depressing set.

* * *

Some real news :

- A l'intérieur soundtrack will definitely be released soon. We're just tied to the DVD distributor for the release date (supposed to be December, then January... now February).
- Asphalet Duchess and i are working on a release titled FILMWORKS, which will contain all the previously unreleased material i've done this last decade. Yes, including the High Tension soundtrack.
- We will also remaster my first album, Computer Assisted Sunset, and make it available again worldwide.
- I will make a real page with more music to stream, and movie clips
- I've changed the saddle of my Vespa to a two seats saddle.

Perfect love story with my Vespa 50 Special, 1973, old greyish-blueish. Now i hate cars (more than ever), cabs and bus drivers, pedestrians, other scooters and traffic lights. Only nice people out there are real bikers.

Finaly, the soundtrack album for Inside is ready. The mix is beautiful and the master ROCKS ! The release in stores was delayed to December, to match the french DVD release.

Thanks to Alan Jones, famous international film journalist, for these words about Inside : "But my number-one favorite film in Cannes also represents the strongest Fango alert. Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s INSIDE (pictured above) is the goriest film since Peter Jackson’s DEAD ALIVE, and marks the most astonishing French debut since Alexandre Aja’s HIGH TENSION. (...) The pulsing techno soundtrack, by HIGH TENSION’s Francois-Eudes Chanfrault, is another masterstroke in a spectacular film bubbling over with such successful decisions. INSIDE is the must-see movie of the year, definitely its most controversial and a work of pure unfettered genius."

And to Variety for : "Soundscape, like Dalle's crazed character, is unrelenting."

And to i don't know who at Skew Reviews : "À l'intérieur, or Inside, is far and away, hands-down, without exception or even competition, the scariest, most terrifying and disturbing horror movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Which I guess makes it the best horror movie I've ever seen. (...) The sound design and music in this flick was flawless. It had me squirming in my seat and sweating balls with nothing going on visually. The movie is beyond scary; it is grippingly frightening."
