Line-Up :
Christian Fues (lyrics & music): Guitars, bass, vocals, keyboards, percussion programming, covers, design.
Pascal Neumann wrote the notes and lyrics for "Témoignage", arranged and polished the lyrics for "La bulle", "Noble est le loup", "Toute Bleue", "Bienheureux" and offered the main theme for the piano bar of the "Praxinoscope".
The grand piano and Mellotron pads of "Témoignage" were performed by Christian Pidoux as well as some of the synths of "Mille églises", and "Praxinoscope". Also inspired the central part of the theme of "Noble est le loup" and wrote the lyrics for the music of the first part of "Variation sur le Temps".
The lyrics "d'un autre rythme" were adapted for the song based on a poem by Jean Vristain.
On the occasion of my daughter Melanie's 30th birthday, "Difficile à dire" was revamped (album "Plages Folles"/Passe-Fil 1997).
Raphaël Hardrick provided the percussion for "La décadence" and part of "Sans adieux". "La gueule du géant" is the all-musical version of the eponymous title by Passe-Fil ("Planètes Froides" 2020).
