PHOTOGRAMMES, recorded between December 1987 and December 1988 has been released in 1989 on NORMAL Records in limited vinyl and compact disc editions.
It presents the two DIE FORM's facets united again : experimental tracks with electronic rhythms and melodic pieces with peculiar textures composed around the voice of Katia with more perfected texts.
Unique collaboration born of an unforeseen meeting with this young female singer : fragile and sad beauty beyond poetry and perversity.
For the reissue, in addition to the entirely recomposed artwork from the original elements and the remasterized tracks, appear a new piece and photographs extracted from super-8 films.

PHOTOGRAMMES, enregistré entre décembre 1987 et décembre 1988 est sorti en 1989 sur NORMAL Records en versions vinyle limité et compact disc.
Il présente les deux facettes de DIE FORM à nouveau réunies : morceaux expérimentaux aux rythmes électroniques et pièces mélodiques aux textures particulières composées autour de la voix de Katia avec des textes plus travaillés.
Unique collaboration née d’une rencontre imprévue avec cette jeune chanteuse : fragile et triste beauté au-delà de la poésie et de la perversité.
Pour la réédition, outre la pochette entièrement recomposée d’après les éléments originaux et les morceaux remasterisés, figurent un morceau inédit et des photogrammes extraits de films super-8.

"Sadia" and "Cathodic Funeral" appear only on the cd version.
