COMELADISCO :
post-flood stereophonic pascal comelade discography

There is no official Pascal Comelade website (Oh, actually there is one now !). It is most probably on purpose and, after hearing him talk about his attitude towards technologies (on France Musiques radio shows mostly), you begin to understand why. Neither is there a fan website dedicated to Mr. Comelade, as far as I know. This is more surprising, because Mr. Comelade has many fans, and passionate ones too (you just have to check how much people are prepared to pay for his records on internet biddings : a copy of the Fall of Saigon recently fetched 230 € !).

This page is not the embryo of a site dedicated to Pascal Comelade. It is just intended as a help, so as not to get lost in Pascal Comelade's plethorical and cosmopolitan record production.
As for the 20th century, Pascal Comelade has done the task himself, in a magnificent manner, by publishing (in French) his "Ecrits monophoniques submergés" ("Monophonic submerged writings") in december 1999 (Published by Camion Blanc, on sale et the Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier website). It is a masterpice of the "music book" kind. Included are many pieces written by Comelade, which prove with each page that he has an undeniable talent as a writer, not only as a musician. Included too is a very detailed discography, commented and annoted by the author, and full of other information, lists and trivia.

On this page, we will only signal the records released by Pascal Comelade since the year 2000 that we have heard of. It seemed all the more useful to us as most of these records are not widely distributed.
Please tell us about any mistake or omission...
Pol Dodu, march 2005.

PS : The postface of our publication "Tu m'as trompette mon amour" is about Pascal Comelade, as well as our radio chronicle "Si vous passez par là" in Barcelona.

You can watch on Daily Motion or You Tube a five minute trailer for "Vidéographie polyfacétique", a documentary being directed by Olivier Cavaller about Pascal Comelade.

PASCAL COMELADE : Ecrits monophoniques submergés, Ed. Camion Blanc, 1999.

From September 27 to October 19 2008, on the occasion of the 20th International Record Fair, an exhibition dedicated to Pascal Comelade was held in Perpignan under the title "El discobol de Comelade". It presented Pascal Comelade's complete discography with posters, drawings and photographs. The exhibition catalogue was published by Trabucaire Editions. It is a beautiful full colour square book which documents Pascal Comelade's discography from 1975 to 2008. This book will probably be very quickly out of print so hurry if you want to grab a copy.
Considering the evr growing number of record releases by Pascal Comelade and the extremely limited number of some of the editions, I will concentrate from now on on listing releases that are effectively commercially available with a decent chance to get a hold of outside of Catalonia...
Pol Dodu, november 2008.

In November 2016, Le Mot et le Reste published the book Pascal Comelade : Une galaxie instrumentale by Pierre Hild.

For years, Pascal Comelade and the poet Enric Casasses have performed together. Until now, the recorded evidence of this collaboration made available has only been very partial or released very confidentially. Here, we have on a full album recorded late 2005 the association of Enric Casasses, who tells his poems and plays triangle, with Pascal Comelade and his musician friends. The biggest surprise here is that a good half of the record has an electric rock sound (electric bass, drums, electric guitar, Farfisa organ). The music is by Pascal Comelade, but there are also a few covers (among them "Knockin' on heaven's door", "I can't control myself" or the final track, "Purple haze", played by a brass band).
Released in Spain.
