***AVAILABLE AGAIN!!! A collection of French synth wave 1979-1985. Increasingly detached from the original punk formula, the modern and arty youth of the early 1980s set itself to jettison a movement that had lost much of the nihilistic and exhilarating energy of its halcyon days, stuck, as it was, in an endless and noisy regression. No Future was the motto of an artform without a cause that no longer echoed with the mindset of the time. Disheartened but eager to experiment and create, a new wave of French musicians followed and dealt the Rickenbacker and Fender era a fatal blow. The cold and robot-like bips of analogic keyboards took over. Casio, Korg MS 10, Arp Omni were the new paraphernalia of the növö generation. The ideal conveyers of its retro-futurist elegance and self-professed cold arrogance. They were pinnacles and symbols which turned as potent a fetiah as the electric guitar in the ‘50s or the laptop in the ‘90s. BIPPP recalls the glory of a selected few.
