This compilation of early French Synth Wave weirdness is absolutely stunning. Outmoded synths and e-drums float some of the most infectious hooks to put a smile on your dour mug. This is Franco-Robot pop music of the highest caliber. Every track is simply delicious but standouts come from Act, Comix, Ruth, Visible, and the fantastic Mary Möör (need more Möör.) Seriously, if you can't get behind this you might as well report to your nearest Sleepshop at once.

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking forward to hearing these tracks.
C'est magnifique. It's like Klaus Nomi loses his voice and decides to do a bunch of Joy Division covers.
Loving this. Great post!

Just watched No Reservations with Anthony Bourdaine in Paris....figured I check this out as well. Enjoying the French Connection,thanks.
The synth on some of these tracks has that melancholy old Cure feel. Nice. Thanks.
This album is so good I have lost the urge to listen to anything else and am about to torch every other record I have in a giant bonfire dedicated to Mary Möör.
This album is fucking great! I have been loving it. Thanks for another killer post!
Awesome post. I will have the Comix track in my head the rest of the week.
