I've never heard of this guy, and he's got no entry on Allmusic.com - but I googled and found something like a thousand hits, and Allmusic's got weak coverage of anything that's foreign-language anyway. I'd say to keep this, basically. Seems like it could be useful to people who are interested in the genre, and I'm doubting it's a vanity entry. Mcsweet

You can't buy it on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000802B/ref=m_art_li_1/103-5210146-6475807?v=glance&s=music Hyacinth 03:27, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hm, I've done some poking around, and while this LSJDLP fella doesn't seem to have achieved too much renown under his own name (despite apparently being at it since 1986), he's collaborated with a number of known names, and is on a label (or actually a distributor; it's unclear) that also features a number of known names - Boyd Rice and Death in June - which I think is one of the criteria for music notability. I dunno, this is not really my area of expertise (far from it - as far as I know, a lot of these guys are neo-nazis, actually), but it seems like he has some sort of notable role in this subculture Mcsweet

I prefer to keep stuff like this around. I came to this writeup from the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines page and I've had a bit of concern of my own about those guidelines. While I realize that not everything can have its own article on wikipedia, I do think that small artists have their niche and there is plenty of room for articles like this one. I mean, this isn't a paper encyclopedia, after all - there are no space limitations and as long as the article isn't strictly a vanity article, only interesting to one person, it is nice to have it. Stuff like this is interesting to me, and probably others. I know many of my friends like hearing about small artists before they've gone mainstream. Oftentimes they never go mainstream, and that shouldn't be a reason to keep them off wikipedia. - McCart42 16:49, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)

Weighing in on the above discussion a bit late: Les Joyaux de la Princesse is very well-known in industrial-music circles, especially among people interested in dark ambient and neoclassical type stuff. The reason you can't buy the music anywhere is because his releases are notoriously hard to get, being in small limited editions. If you periodically check eBay you'll see stuff selling for $500+ though. --Delirium 03:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
