Electric Callas, Winner (untitled EP 1981)
Electric Callas was a late 70s french punk band, but when it was time to record their second (and last) single, they turned to this supercool Amanda Lear-esque white funk.
The Glove, Perfect Murder (Blue Sunshine LP 1983)
The one and only recording from Robert Smith and Steve severin's side project. Rare and beautiful.
Yoko Ono, Let The Tears Dry (My Man 7' 1982)
Strange beatbox-meets-gospel track, haunted by the death of the loved one.
The Royal Family & the Poor, Art On 45 (Toxic LP 2005)
Originally a 1981 Factory Records EP, re-issued on the fantastic Toxic compilation by freaks Uncle O & Solo. Punk + P-Funk = P-Punk?
Morplay, Check Your Pulse (Electroclash LP 2002)
Perfect fake old school electro hip-hop. Not much clash in this electro, but it's alright this way.
Station Rose, Eclipse (Live @ Home 2 EP 1999)
I met the "best multimedia band in the world" (their words) while I was supporting their act one night. They gave me that record after beeing so amazed by the fact that I could play Psychic TV in an electro set. They sound quite Chris & Cosey themselves, don't they?
Freeez, I Dub U (I O U 7" 1983)
One day, latin hip-hop will rule the world again. All praises due to Arthur Baker and Jellybean Benitez.
Fantastic 5 MC's live (Hip-Hop Funk Dance Classics vol.1 LP 1991)
This is not a record, this is history!!
Buggles, I Am a Camera (I Am a Camera EP 1981)
To be honest I bought this one for the cover, and was a bit disappointed by the music the first time I listened to it. But by now it's one of my favorites, with its epileptic bassline, and its cold cold mood…
Konk, Elephant (The Sound of Konk LP 2004)
Another band who got their first recording issued by 99 Records, like Y Pants, Liquid Liquid, or ESG. The hell of a scene!!
Guillaume Fédou, Ce Job Est Pour Moi (Ce Job Est Pour Moi 7" 2003)
Damn! I'll never understand why this track never became a hit, remixed by a bunch of hip producers, etc. But I guess it's not too late!!
Castle D., Just Saying Fresh Rhymes (The Best Of B-Boy Records LP 2002)
I used to love this track, even when I hadn't seen Assault On Precint 13 yet. John Carpenter rules!
Psychic TV, New Sexuality (A pagan Day LP 25th december 1986)
A grrrreat album, filled with marvelous songs. I play it as soon as I can, in any set, there's always a song that can match the mood. Thanks to Olivier Hahn who bought plenty of Psychic TV records at the right time, and who gave 'em to me when he turned to eighteenth century music.
London Underground, Learn a Language (15 and X Years compilation LP 1996)
On-U Sound label made me discover Ari Up, African Head Charge, and Mark Stewart. And London Undrground's 1980' single you can hear right here. This sure is a pretty line up, right?
Le Club, Un fait Divers et Rien de Plus (Un fait Divers et Rien de Plus 7' 1982)
Dance to the sound of the violence in the streets. Gangs, skinheads, Ronald Reagan, Margareth Thatcher, junkies in the alley with the baseball bat, those were the early eighties days…
Tom Tom Club, On, On, On, On… remixed version (Under The Boardwalk EP 1982)
Such a great band, with connections into punk as much as into hip-hop, everybody loves their catchy beats and more-than-danceable bass.
Material, Don't Lose Control (I'm The One EP 1982)
Where electro meets the bongo, with pieces of cut-up. And a really heavy groove on Bill Laswell's bass, pushed forward by Michael Beinhorn's synthesizer. Definitly one of a kind.
Sexual Harrassment, If I Gave You a Party - Syrup version / dance edit (Anti NY EP II 2001)
I guess this 1983 track became a classic since its re-issue by the Gomma gang. Well, to me it is. Another EP I bought for the design. Paow!
Tubeway Army, Me! I Disconnect From You (Replicas LP 1979)
Would you believe me if I tell you that I bought this record because of the cover? But it's true! It was a bit expensive for a second-hand, but it seemed so mysterious… And sure Gary Numan is a mysterious guy. I'll never regret those 6 € I left on the flea market.
Phase II, The Roxy (New York City Rap promo LP 1982)
It seems they forgot this great track when they issued The Celluloid Years compilation the other week. But don't worry, Disco L'Imprimante is here with his bunch of records from the flea markets!
New Flesh, His Story Crockery feat. The Ramm:Ell:Zee (Understanding LP 2002)
I've always been fascinated by pop art figures connecting with the pop music side. The Ramm:Ell:Zee is probably one of the best, and if not, he's still alive, and recording!
The Pop Group, Beyond Good and Evil (Kiss The Future LP 2005)
This early Mark Stewart track (1979) is a delicious psycho-funk anthem that can't let you still. Makes me wanna riff with a white guitar!
52nd Street, Twice As Nice (Cool As Ice/Twice As Nice EP 1983)
By the time I was collecting anything designed by Peter Saville, I found this strange Factory Benelux 12", which had a little succes in the NY club scene with its François K remix (wich is not the one you can hear, this one's signed Oz).
