Jean-Jacques Birge率いる実験パンクバンドの1st LP!!75年にLP[Defense De]をリリースした後、メンバー変更を経て新たに結成されたカルト集団U.D.M.IのリーダーであるJean-Jacques Birge。氏が2013年頃?に結成した実験的パンク集団"Poudingue"が長い活動期間を経て遂に発表したデビュー作。社会思想家フリードリヒ・エンゲルスが残した物事の真価を表現した言葉をユニット名に冠し、U.D.M.Iの要素を取り入れつつ新たなアプローチを開拓。







La preuve is an après-guard action. Most of the people who inspired it are dead or retired. Old teenagers flog their former loves. They bear witness to a bygone era, but joyously embraced, digested and spat out. Everything was still possible. Or possible at last. Psychedelia opened the doors of perception. Romanticism wasn't relegated to a dull formatting, a cheese without a rind. The group Poudingue, which started out ten years ago, has some delectable leftovers. These are the crumbs from purgatory.


The proof (la preuve, in French) is in the pudding (poudingue, in French) is an expression coined by Friedrich Engels meaning that the value, quality or truth of something must be judged on the basis of direct experience or its results. The expression is a modification of an old saying that makes the meaning a little clearer: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
