Vicious Circle was a french alternative industrial duo formed by Lucie Dehli and Stephan Ink in 1989 and disbanded in 1991. Barbed Wire Slides, their unique album under the Vicious Circle's banner hung round a twisted, vulnerable little girl vocal - the girlish voice of Lucie Dehli - seemingly echoing right from a creepy playground.
Numbing repetitions of samples, rigid rythmic loops were envelopped with airy creative sounds, the all giving a result without compromise.
They brilliantly slided between Coil, Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins, and succeeded in reaching an intense, and striking atmosphere, giving birth to a very personal style.
This album has been released by Some Bizarre (Coil, The The, Neubauten, Swans, Soft Cell) in 1991.
In 1992, they gave a turn to their music, in creating View, a much more atmospheric and ambient project.
They recorded with the jazz drummer Frank Vaillant, the classical percussionist Max Boisson, and Jean-Marie Mathoul from 48 Cameras.
They now are performing under the name of Elephant Leaf.

Friend some bizzare sites got new juke box’s http://www.myspace.com/somebizarrelabel http://www.myspace.com/somebizarrerecords http://www.myspace.com/somebizzare some bizzare thanks
Please note that due to a production problem ( the wrong 12" version of "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" was used ) we have been forced to move the release date of the Deluxe Edition back by 2 weeks
The release date of Soft Cell "Heat" 2xcd Remix Package will remain September 15th.
Well...'ello 'ello 'ello...been a little while...we've been feeling a tad guilty of late for negelcting our pals on myspace - things have been pretty darn busy this end what with the album release and beginning writing and recording a new album (plus trying to keep the wolf from the door - yeah - we're typical skint indie musos on that front) - plus trying to deal with all the general madness that life occassionally decides to throw this way.
However - things this side of the screen are good and looking positive...I just hope the case is the same on your side of the screen. We have a couple of new tracks on the jukebox - including a mix we did for fellow labelmate rev spook - if you get a chance - either check it out on our myspace page or on his www.myspace.com/heartfuct page -
Hope things are well with you and the cosmic forces of whatever guides the universe are currently running in your favour - basically just thought we'd drop by and say 'ello'.
Keep in touch and keep us in the loop!
Much love
Sarah and James
The Dark Poets -------x------ Touch the screen....and feel the love from the other side....
BTW - We're really proud to have released our new 'Vs' album - reviews have been really good so far. Gary Lucas Vs The Dark Poets "Beyond the pale" is released on Some Bizzare records
OUT NOW SBZ092 CD - AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE INCLUDING - IN STORE, AMAZON AND ITUNES....blah blah blah - you'll find it...it's on general release in the UK - So wherever you are you can track it down- we're trying to keep the price low too - so check it out and see if you can grab your copy.
there's a myspace site with a few tracks from the album - let us know if you like what you hear.
Merci Lucie pour ces infos... joli design, et en effet beau boulot !!! te/vous souhaitant enfin une juste reconnaissance avec cette exhumation 2008 !!! :)))
J'essaierai de venir en mai pour vous voir... à défaut d'avoir vu Vicious Circle, je te verrai dans la nouvelle formation...
Bonne continuation à vous en tout cas... et au plaisir...
en espérant une nouvelle édition digitale de l'album, meilleurs voeux en cette nouvelle année! plaise au seigneur & à ses anges de vous conserver et de vous faire grandir dans son amùour!
