"Third & Last Imitation of Christ" - 1992

Cover 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 Factsheet Five  1992

 

 

"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!" in Electric Shock Treatment  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 Est 3 Records Reviews
