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

Pauline Murray is a British singer and songwriter born on 8 March 1958 in Durham, County Durham, UK. She first gained recognition as the lead vocalist of the punk band Penetration in 1977 before embarking on a successful solo career in 1980.

Les Disques du Crepuscule presents a deluxe remastered edition of 'Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls', the debut album by post / punk icon Pauline Murray, produced by revered sonic architect Martin 'Zero' Hannett. Recorded at the famous Strawberry Studios in July 1980, the album offered epic electronic pop written by Pauline and partner Robert Blamire and marked a radical departure from their shared past in pioneering punk band Penetration. As well producer / arrangers Martin Hannett and Steve Hopkins (aka the Invisible Girls), the album features a stellar cast of guest musicians including John Maher (Buzzcocks) and Vini Reilly (Durutti Column). Indeed 'Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls' presents almost a Factory record, exquisitely sleeved by Peter Saville and Trevor Key. Stand-out tracks include the popular singles 'Dream Sequence' and 'Mr X', with the newly remastered Hannett tracks now augmented by a wealth of bonus material including non-album singles, b-sides and a John Peel session (1980). The liner note is by Jon Savage. The double vinyl edition also includes a bonus CD featuring instrumental versions of all the album tracks (a must for students of Hannett's unique production sound), along with alternate takes of key singles.
