Looking For Saint-Tropez
Remastered and newly mixed by band members Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers, Telex releases Looking For Saint-Tropez..
Looking For Saint Tropez was Telexâs debut album originally released in 1979. It contains covers of Plastic Bertrandâs pop-punk âĂa Plane Pour Moiâ and Bill Haleyâs âRock Around The Clockâ, in which, so to speak, all of the rock is removed leaving nothing but the clock; a ticking, vocoderised, supremely deadpan robot parody of the original. Had Telex merely confined themselves to such covers they might have been regarded as a rather clever comedy band. But they also cut âMoskow Diskowâ, a rollocking, swerving, steaming dancefloor classic, a track which lays down the railroad for as yet unimagined electronic musics such as House and Techno. Years ahead of its time, its reputation has only been enhanced over time, as other, more date stamped electropop has fallen by the wayside.
