Collection D'Arnell-Andrea - Topic

Collection d'Arnell~Andréa is a French neoclassical darkwave band founded by Jean-Christophe d'Arnell, Pascal Andréa, and Chloé St Liphard in 1986. Andréa left the band shortly after its founding, before its first performance. However, d'Arnell left Andréa's name in the band name. Their music prominently features keyboards, cello, and vocals by Chloé St Liphard. The band is known for featuring a large ensemble of musicians in its live performances, and has performed at many international music festivals, including Germany's Wave-Gotik-Treffen. Many of their albums have focused on late 19th and early 20th century themes.
When the band signed with Prikosnovénie in 2002, the label re-edited and re-released many New Rose Records albums that had previously been out of print. Signing with Prikosnovénie also resulted in three new albums and a new tour schedule through Europe.
