"The first time I'd ever heard of Noir Desir, I was in the Greek Islands, in a hotel room, watching some European music video channel at around 3 in the morning. I wasn't paying much attention when a show came on that turned out to be a documentary on Noir Desir. It was in French, so I didn't understand a word, but then they started playing some music videos from this very live disc. By the end of the first song they had my complete attention. By the end of the second I was hooked. By the end of the third I was running around the room in my underwear screaming anti-fascism lyrics in French (a language I do not speak), much to the distress of the hotel staff. If that's not a recommendation, I'm not sure what is. Anyway, it took me about a year later to find "Dies Irae", and it was as great as I remembered. And it still is. La rage! dEFROG out"
