Les Disques Du Crepuscule

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

'​Commissions' is a brand new anthology of instrumental soundtrack music by Blaine L Reininger, the Colorado-born composer and founder member of avant-garde music group Tuxedomoon. Written and recorded between 2008 and 2012, the various theatre and dance productions scored on Commissions include Electric Girl, New Electric Ballroom, Lithi (Oblivion), Danton's Death, Double Take, American Buffalo and Antigone. "Since I moved to Greece I've been commissioned to compose music for dance and theatre on a more frequent basis than before. The difference between this work and my own songwriting, in and out of Tuxedomoon, is that the subject matter is supplied to me beforehand and the results are supervised and edited by someone else. The contrasts and conflicts between my own familiar set of artistic notions, and those of a stranger, can give rise to some surprising and delightful results which provide new paths and methods for my further work."
