PromoFabrik Webblog: NOBLESSE OBLIGE re-release their fantastic debutalbum

RepoRecords is happy to announce the international Re-Release of the Noblesse Oblige debut album Privilege Entails Responsibility. Originally released in the UK only in 2006, this is the album that established the Noblesse Oblige on the international Indie/Electro scene with early club hits such as Bitch, Daddy (Don’t Touch Me There) and Offensive Nonsense.
Like its successor IN EXILE, the album contains a wild mix of musical references, from the gothic blues of “Nervous” over Prokofiev-sampling “Caligula” to Gallic pop tribute “Quel Genre de Garcon” and soundtrack ballad “Night Train To Krakow”. The album’s raw and energetic, gloomy art- pop combined with the band’s trademark lyrical wit and dark humour has gained Noblesse Oblige a growing cult following, resulting in more than 300 Live shows over the past 4 years.

The album contains previously unreleased bonus material such as cover versions of Eric Burdon’s When I Was Young and Stephanie de Monaco’s Ouragan/Irresistible which were recorded for Edwin Brienen’s 2008 arthouse movie “L’Amour Toujours” in which Valerie and Sebastian also co-starred as actors. Also included are 8 remixes from befriended artists as diverse as Musiccargo (Amontillado Music), Toulouse Low Trax (Kreidler/Salon des Amateurs), Mona Mur, En Esch (ex-KMFDM), Avius and Laurent Ho.

Finally, the album also includes the 2 only remixes of In Exile songs – the band’s own disco edit of Tanz, Mephisto! and Mark Reeder’s remix of Duel.

This is the chance to re-discover the early music of one of the most unusual and exciting current European bands around, while the recording of the follow up album to IN EXILE is in progress and set to be released in early 2010.

The Re-Release of Privilege Entails Responsibility is available on limited edition CD with new artwork and a fold-out poster or as a MP3 download.
