Les Disques Du Crepuscule

23 Skidoo are a British band known for their fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. Formed in 1979 by Fritz Catlin, Johnny Turnbull and Sam Mills, the group drew inspiration from martial arts, Burundi and Kodo drumming, Fela Kuti, The Last Poets, William S. Burroughs and the emerging confluence of industrial, post-punk and funk.

Their debut album "Seven Songs" released in 1982 is said to evoke the claustrophobic humidity of an African forest. With influences ranging from A Certain Ratio to Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, they created experimental EPs like "Tearing Up The Plans." In 1983 they performed live at the first WOMAD Festival with their album "The Culling Is Coming."

In later years they shifted towards hip hop and signed to Virgin Records in 1991. Their self-titled LP featured collaborations with Pharoah Sanders and Roots Manuva. They released a compilation of singles titled "The Gospel Comes To New Guinea" in 2002 before liquidating their company in 2003.

Les Disques Du Crepuscule is a renowned music label founded by Michel Duval and Annik Honoré, along with the famous illustrator Benoît Hennebert. The label officially started in August 1980 with the release of A Certain Ratio's Shack Up 7". Over the years, Les Disques Du Crepuscule has released nearly 400 titles on vinyl, cassette, and CD, covering a wide range of musical genres from pop to jazz, classical to experimental. They have also ventured into book publishing, video production, and fashion. With their unique presentation of artists and distinctive graphic design, Crépuscule stands out among independent record labels established in the late 70s and early 80s.

Crépuscule maintained strong connections with Factory Records in Manchester while also operating subsidiary labels in various countries including the UK (Operation Twilight and Operation Afterglow), the US (Crepuscule America), France (Crépuscule Section Française), and Japan (Crépuscule au Japon). In 1984, they even opened "Interferences," a cosmopolitan brasserie cum performance space in Brussels.

In the early 2000s, Les Disques du Crépuscule briefly relocated to Paris with a focus on soundtracks and the French domestic market. Michel Duval continued to oversee Crépuscule until 2006 when James Nice took over as

'Beyond Time' is the first album by acclaimed experimental group 23 Skidoo in fifteen years, released in a special double disc edition combining the soundtrack music to 2011 documentary film 'Beyond Time', and a DVD of the film itself. Directed by Alex Turnbull and Pete Stern, 'Beyond Time' is a journey into the life and work of artist William Turnbull, from his modest roots as the son of a Dundee shipyard engineer to his standing as one of the world's most highly regarded modern sculptors. Narration is by Jude Law. "An insightful, irreverent documentary, yet with a palpable sense of purpose" said the Daily Telegraph, with the Guardian confirming that"William Turnbull helped change the way we see art today." The soundtrack music is performed by 23 Skidoo. Formed in 1979 as industrial, post-punk and funk genres coalesced, the group included Bill Turnbull's sons Alex and Jonny together with Fritz Catlin and Peter 'Sketch' Martin. As well as new music, the accomplished score features re-worked versions of older material. "Johnny and I thought 23 Skidoo's anti-commercial tendencies came from a punk sensibility," explains Alex. "But it turns out we had a genetic predisposition to anti-establishment practices. Bill was a polymath at a time when that was a dirty word, shifting between sculpture and painting and putting both in a symbiotic relationship. Now crossing boundaries is everywhere: think of hip-hop. The name of the band referenced a William Burroughs short story. Burroughs used, as we did, cut-up techniques, collaging and sampling. We were oblivious to the fact that a lot of that aesthetic was in what Bill did until I made the film." Both the CD and vinyl versions of Beyond Time include a Region 0 NTSC format DVD of the documentary film (with bonus features), but feature different artwork. The CD / DVD package features a portrait of Bill by photographer Ida Carr, while the vinyl / DVD version features a detail from 05 by William Turnbull (oil on canvas, 1959) printed on matt reverse board.
