Telex (Marc Moulin, Dan Lacksman, Michel Moers) de Belgica
El ultim recopilatori del grup Belga d’electronica-comedia dels 80, uns clàssics, tots els seus hits. MOLT RECOMENABLE, increibles les verions que feian de temes clàssics, deconstruint els temes.
When radio DJ/jazz musician Marc Moulin, programmer/sound engineer Dan Lacksman and vocalist Michel Moers got together in 1978 with the deliberate goal of forming an all-electronic disco pop band, they couldn’t have chosen a better (or worse) moment: after all this was a year when New Wave, guitars, seriousness and political content were ruling. Telex expressed articulate, militant views on the essential lightness of pop, and their tongue-in-cheek championing of disco was not always well understood at the time by the ideologically-correct rock press… which didn’t keep their first three singles (‘Twist A Saint Tropez”, “Moskow Diskow” and “Rock Around The Clock”) from becoming genuine hits in the UK and in the rest of Europe.
