Collection d'Arnell Andréa is a French darkwave band founded by Jean-Christophe d'Arnell (main composer, writer, piano/keyboards), Pascal Andréa, and Chloé St Liphard in 1986. Andréa left the band shortly after its founding, before its first performance[1]. However, d'Arnell left Andréa's name in the band name. Their music features proeminently keyboards, cello, and Chloé's vocals. The band is known for including a large collection or ensemble of musicians in its live performances and has performed at numerous international music festivals including Germany's Wave Gotik Treffen.
When the band signed with Prikosnovénie in 2002, the label re-edited and rereleased many of the previous New Rose Records albums that had previously been out of print. Signing with Prikosnovénie also resulted in two new albums and a new tour schedule through Europe.
