Very obscure French experimental/electronic act,that released 2LPs and a 12" e.p. plus a 7" in the early 80s. Haunting electronic sounds ,some ethnic elements reminds me much of 23 Skidoo's 7 songs or early Muslimgause and O Yuki Conjugate sound. This is their 2nd LP. Their first , Clima X ,from 1981 ,is more electronic progressive oriented.get it here

ReplyDeleteThis band was more Art and technique than it was music. It sounded like many other early industrial acts I have heard. This group should have gotten with E.Geometrico. They could have composed many headaches together. Is this art? Yes. Does it have technique? Yes. Does it make me want to take a few xanax and beat my head against an industrial radiator? Definitely. But, is it music? I guess it is a matter of opinion. It was interesting , though, as I had never heard this type of this era from France:)
ReplyDeletethey could be called "the french throbbing gristle", they where friends with them.
ReplyDeleteA very talented band.
Their CD was reissued on Spalax and should be availble on amazon !
