"Rock" was originally published on CD by Shiva/Apocalyptic Vision (Germany) and Edouard Sicsic in 1994. The recording of the album started in June 1990 but was halted due to financial reasons. As a consequence the mixing could only be finished in December 1993. "Rock" was re-issued on CD by Infrastition in 2011.

about

Clair Obscur France

Of all the bands that animated the French cold wave and industrial scene of the 1980s, Clair Obscur is certainly one of those whose influence was most vivid beyond the borders of France.
