The first two are a must.  In fact, go order them right now.

I'll probably do it sometime this week. First I need to clear some stuff off of my laptop since I only have about 7GB of free space left on it. Then again 38GB are taken up by music.LOL


The first two albums are available on 1 CD, basically this.

I may eventually buy the remaster. It's one of my favorite albums (maybe I'm biased because of the bassoon).

I like one of the reviews there:
 
4.0%20out%20of%205%20stars Slipping Into Darkness, August 28, 2001
2-on-1 Present cd, recapping their first two platters. Unlike that HUGE recent disappointment, Morte Macabre, which promised gore yet delivered snores, these albums - Roger Trigaux's first two post-Univers Zero projects, dating from somewhere in the early 80s (the cd housing both dates from 89) - are not the kind I like to play late at night with the wind howling and the dogs baying out on the moors. This is some scary stuff, plain and simple. Yet although the musicians comprising this edition of Present are all highly-touted (Trigaux has long been considered Le Fripp Francaise, and the rhythm section of Christian Genet and Daniel Denis come likewise highly-pedigreed) the most impressive figure here, as well as the tail wagging this particular dog, is the relatively low-profiled keyboardist Alain Rochette. Having never considered the piano an instrument that seethes psychosis, I was mighty surprised to find Rochette a master at creating near-unbearable tension with just a few judicious key-plonks throughout both albums. Where Univers Zero went after a similarly unnerving soundscape in a kind of suicidally-dark chamber music setting, Present really gets you standing on the chair, knotted rope around your neck, with a much simpler and more direct approach...there's less audio clutter, which allows them to focus their sound and set controls for the heart of darkness with pinpoint-accuracy. Although LE POISON, the second album here, is 'sunnier' (ha!) and more melodic, it ain't by much, and not nearly enough to shake off the city-of-the-dead vibe suffusing TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIE (which translates into 'fear of the number 13', an appropriately evocative title for this opus). Best summed up by the track 'Repulsion': if you've ever seen that nightmarish Roman Polanski film, you'll know what to expect here. Present sound like they're trying to compose a soundtrack heard only inside a madman's skull. (The hell with trying, they've DONE it.) Not recommended for recently-released mental patients or anyone living next door to one.
 
 
Spooky.. Big%20smile

When there are lyrics in Present, they are so silly it kinda drags my attention away.

Present are super-great. Somehow I concentrate more on their later albums whereas their first two are just ones I accept and relax to.

that song of mine doesn't peak badly at all, it's just that my laptop is an idiot. on mp3 player it sounds great (disclaimer: for music I made) =)

Lappy it actually doesn't peak too much, you're right, it doesn't seem to clip anyway, it's just below the point of clipping, far better than most pop production anyway.

It's just than the meaning of those is so random. I'll translate 'em for you guys when I have time on my hands.

But right now, I've got to.

Later pals.
