Made by Swan Roli Mosimann, their self-titled debut LP adopted in 1987, and was called Album of the entire year by the English music every week Melody Manufacturer; by enough time from the follow-up, 1989’s L’Eau Rouge, drummer Make use of Heistand had changed Bagnoud, and with the launch of 1991’s The Small Gods Play Kurt Weill, Pizzi was eliminated and only sampler Alain Monod. T.V. Sky adopted in 1992, while 1995’s Just Heaven flirted with ambient textures; 2 yrs later, the Youthful Gods (minus Heistand along with fresh drummer Bernard Trontin) came back with Heaven Deconstruction.
