I didn’t know anything about Poesie Noire when I bought this record in 80s – I was just on the hunt for alternative electronic music, which mostly meant to browse a bin in the back of the records store. Maybe I realized at that time that they were from Belgium, where a lot of electronic music, dubbed *Electronic Body Music*, came from in those days. But surely I hadn’t heard a single song of them. In the end, the album *Tales of Doom* wasn’t that great, but *Verge Of Tears* made it again and again on my mix tapes and eventually I realized that it’s one of my favorite songs. 

With the benefit of [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C3%A9sie%5FNoire?ref=glamglare.com), I know now that Poesie Noire was a three piece, including a woman named Marianne Valvekens, which was a rarity in those days.
