Fin de Siecle, whose visionary debut album 'End Of The Century' is released 1st April `96 (TIRCD 003) through Totem International Records and co-produced by Alex Kasiek from Transglobal Underground, don't predict the future so much as sense it. For a band obsessed with what's to come, they also resonate deeply with the present, embodying a recognisable moment oftransition, of anticipation, a moment of enlightened instability. They understand that as we gear ourselves up for the millennium, anything can happen, and in their case, it usually does. Jon Selzer. Melody Maker

Sit up and take note, here's a good one...Fin De Siecle are out there on the edge... the missing link between Einsturzende Neubauteri and The Oroonies (or maybe Webcore)? Yeah, that good..., this is special, it's spiritual, it's got a groove all of it's own, it's a vivacious colourful blend of sounds, a brave set of contradictions, heavy (slightly industrial) dub weaving around saxaphone, flute and clarinet. Fronted by the rather French sounding voice of Isa Suarez, Fin De Siecle are busy playing the exciting toilets of London town as we speak....hopefully they're going to rise above them soon, you should get along and check them out now. End of the century dread and hope, beauty and uglyness......if ever The Oroonies were to go industrial on us this is what it would sound like, wonderfully mellow....one of the tapes of the year. No contact address but they're outthere gigging quite a bit so go and check them out. The Organ, March

Now I've spoken to Fin's vocalist Isa on many occasions, and she seems like a pleasant and well balanced person. Put her in the context of the band though, and everything changes. Fin De Siecle are an experimental mood outfit with a strong European flavour, no doubt helped by Isa's prominent French accent. Anchored by some solid sequenced bass, the other instruments are free to spiral all over the place. Vocals drift in and out, a snakecharmer appears briefly, one of the band plays "saxophone, flute, clarinet, supermarket trolly and rubbish bin". Clearly this is not your average Rock & Roll band. There are elements of Jazz, Dub, World and Kraftwerk style computerisation here, cleverly woven into some compelling and intriguing soundscapes. Check them out, but be prepared for a suprise. Making Music, April '94 Fin De Siecle sound like they're on the edge of a new world where the laws of physics no longer have quite the same hold. This is the end-of-the-millennium dread at its most exhilarating, locked into an off-kilter, subterranean groove that doesn't know where it's headed, as keyboards and saxophones branch off onto uncharted territories. They look pretty good, too. Melody Maker, January
