Hey tristan
Pascal from LSJ here. Thanx for posting this. Reading again for the first time in more than 20 years the Artitude IV made me realize that Istania is NOT the final piece of the puzzle. There's a last album called ENEIS which got released on a small label called ACHE in Germany ; it contains two long pieces : UN and our cover of pink floyd's "Set the controls for the heart of the sun".
It was, as far as i remenber, lted to 300 numbered copies, had a b & w artwork, a b & w booklet and the cassette was simply slipped in a plastic bag. There you go :-)

Many thanks for the comment Pascal. I have discovered the existence of the last LSJ cassette after I made that post but don't know where to find it... Any chance you rip it for us ?

Yes, I know where my own copy is, for once. I won't be back to you before a few weeks as it's not in my home but i will anyway. I've got no idea of whatever happened to ACHE - I just remember the label was located in Bremen...
By the way, Vincent Detours with whom i've recorded Istania is now a doctor in Biology and lives in Brussels. Not that amazing as Vincent was the mastermind of our small group of (non) musicians. This recording is made with random synthwaves/frequencies programmed by Vincent which were layered and mixed by me.
