art · Robert Varlez Après
deux mini-lps vinyle dont la distribution se révéla restreinte,
un premier CD, "Third & Last Imitation of Christ",
voit le jour en 1992 sur le tout jeune label Besides. "48 Cameras
nous avait déjà offert deux albums confidentiels (...). Ici, le
collectif (...) se fait à la fois plus proche & plus ténu. Proche
de Coil dans ses moments apaisés, (...) une
musique tout en climats, à la fois subtile, belle & dérisoire."
in Télémoustique
1992 [Belgique] "Nifty,
gloomy music from Belgium. The music itself is eerie
and echoing, great for late nights. Over the top are spoken-word vocals... ...Very
original stuff that works really well." in

"The
spoken prose lyrics are perfectly complimented by the most subtle musical backdrops."
in Stick It In Your Ear zine
1992 "...
an exceptionally professional sound that deserves a much wider exposure. Melodic
acoustic guitars, carefully poised electric guitars, dramatic keyboards, it's
musically as competent as any well-known rock band, if not more so. A real surprise!"

1992 Certains
ont parlé de 48 Cameras en terme de concept.
J'aimerais davantage songer que 48 Cameras est
simplement un groupe différent." Jean
Marie Mathoul in Omega
1993 [France] "48
Cameras are a Belgian four-piece, producing an exceptionally professional
sound that deserves much wider exposure. Melodic acoustic guitars, carefully poised
electric guitars, dramatic keyboards, it's musically as competent as any well-known
rock band, if not more so. Only their use of dry narration (mostly in English)
rather than singing is likely to hold them back from fame and fortune. For me,
it's an uneasy union of cliched rock with more individual tendencies, and the
morose, sardonic narration is one of the plus points. A real surprise!" in
