Ici d'Ailleurs

Ici D'ailleurs is an independent French label located in Nancy and created by Stephane Gregoire from the dissolution of the associative label Sine Terra Firma. It was originally known as a compilation released by Sine Terra Firma in 1996, but later became the name of the independent label.

The label has an eclectic editorial line and does not adhere to any specific musical genre. Its success began with the release of Yann Tiersen's third album, "Le phare," in 1998. This allowed Ici D'ailleurs to expand its catalog and showcase both recognized and emerging artists who share a common focus on rich and relevant composition.

In addition to its main label, Ici D'ailleurs has also established two subdivisions. The first is 0101, which focuses on electronic music artists who use a creative process primarily based on electronics. The second is OuMoPo, inspired by the literary movement OuLiPo, which invites artists to remaster parts of Ici D'ailleurs' catalog while adhering to a preestablished charter. This collection includes six albums that combine graphic elements created by JC Menu with new constraints imposed by oupabiens.

One notable project from Ici D'ailleurs is "This Immortal Coil," which pays tribute to the group Coil through reinterpretations by various artists including Yaël Naim, Bonnie Prince Billy, Yann Tiersen,

In 2009, following the death of Jhonn Balance four years earlier, This Immortal Coil's The Dark Age Of Love appeared as a tribute to the two decades of superb work of British band Coil.

Formed by musicians from all walks of life, the album was praised by critics but also, and most importantly, by Peter Christopherson himself! 13 years have passed and the passion for the band has never wavered. Following the death of Peter Christopherson in 2010, and meetings with musicians such as David Chalmin or Massimo Pupillo from Zu who also wanted to pay tribute to this gigantic band, Stephane Gregoire's desire to make a new opus took shape in 2017 with a first recording of the title "Where Are You".

Just like the first one, more than 5 years were necessary to complete this mammoth tribute album to Coil's unclassifiable genius. The Ici d'Ailleurs team is very proud to unveil This Immortal Coil's second album The World Ended A Long Time Ago. Amongst the collaborators of this long awaited follow-up are Shannon Wright, David Chalmin, Matt Elliott, Christine Ott, Aho Ssan, Gaspar Claus, Aidan Baker (Nadja), Ulver (Kristoffer Rygg, Ole Alexander Halstensgard, Stian Westerhus) and Zu.
