Jordan Vauvert Après Nous Le Déluge, première sortie de raison d'être, partage la même particularité qu'Apidya ou Arakan de Jute Gyte : ça ne sera peut-être pas la meilleure porte d'entrée pour découvrir le plus grand projet de Peter Andersson. Le concept — recréer une tour de Babel de langages qui n'arrivent pas à s'accorder (nom de l'album en français, titres en latin, samples de discours en suédois, allemand ou espagnol) — est intéressant mais le dark ambiant manque d'unité et il a subi le poids des années. Favorite track: De Profundis (redux).

about

The dark, atmospheric and energetic mix of choirs, strings, various FX-sounds, heavy drums and tribal sections makes this the seed for the raison d’être sound trademark that begun with the album 'Prospectus I' from 1993. Released in 1992 'Aprés Nous Le Dèluge' became the first official output from raison d'être when it went available on the Cold Meat Industry subsidiary label Sound Source.

There are three versions of 'Aprés Nous Le Dèluge' and now they have finally all been joined into one complete album release: the Trinity Edition. The original version released on cassette in 1992, first as a private demo tape and soon after slightly slimmed officially on the Cold Meat Industry sub label Sound Source, had many flaws in the recording quality due to bad equipment and poor skills. The remixed version from 1995 was an attempt to make things better. It was a try to recreate the whole album but the mission failed. Only about half of the tracks was possible to recreate and the second half were just the original version treated with equalisation and reverb. Also, many sounds on the remixed tracks were missing thus replaced with new sounds. In 2012 there was a new more serious attempt to recreate the whole album. The intention with the reduxed version was to recreate the energy and feeling of the original version but still making it well balanced and clear in the mix.
