ANNO DOMINO
After relocating from New York to Brussels in 1985, Anna Domino cut this magical album with the aid of top flight producers Alan Rankine (Associates) and Marc Moulin (Telex). The record proved a major independent success, thanks largely to Anna's confessional lyrics and reflective vocals, combined with sophisticated songs and sharp rhythmic styles. In particular check out Not Right Now, the crystalline, proto trip-hop of Caught and the near-hit singles Rhythm, Summer and Take That. The album als- Shop: odax

En Route ! Electrodisco Hits the Road / Various
Specialising in sideburn-sporting albums that evoke the reek of vintage, mouldy studios, Belgian label Freaksville is back on the road with « En route », a compilation featuring a 100% synthetic sound, with one beady eye focused straight ahead on the best of the francophone electropop scene. Unbuckle your seat belts and hold tight ! Following hot on the heels of their first unashamedly rock compilation (Pan Vol. 1, 2010), this second offering transports the listener on a musical voyage which rides a solitary groove, like some dreamed up FM radio playlist to accompany lonely lovers to digital paradise. Chosen by audition from Paris and beyond, this batch of artists are for the most part already signed up to labels, so they know how to rev their engines. Our road trip on this compilation starts off with a member of Telex (Michel Moers) colliding with a Phantom Conductor resulting in a new take on Suicide with an added oil change. Passing by the moon we glimpse out of the window for some French retro-futurist pop, a dizzy mix of Dondolo and Kraftwerk. Then it's the turn of Accident, a whizz-kids keyboard duo who join the fast lane with « Vert Bleu Noir » an ode to the 80s but without the shoulder pads. Now that we're at full speed on the autobahn, we encounter more weird and wonderful faces. The spirit of John Carpenter permeates The Game is Over by the mysterious TSTR and the remix of Phantom feat. Lio by duo Destin evokes an era of Malibu cocktails, crisps and a spinning disco ball, while Orion by Livio Mosca is like a James Dean piloted porsche on a distant planet. If few of these artists on this Freaksville compilation are destined for a future of high-rotation on MTV - we can only but dream - .- then they've nothing to lose by driving recklessly in the fast lane - and screw the speed cameras. One year after the release of the « Parisien » compilation by Kitsuné « En Route » is proof that France is far from done with synthesizers, certainly not with the bizarre side. We can also cite Kozushima by the group Planète or the remix of Deadride Phantom, which closes this electronic odyssey but hey what's the attraction ? Well, on Route 666, the Hell's Angels 2.0 have simply replaced their communion hosts with chips and their journey has been modernised. Promised to a long line of collectors, these musicians of the future have traded in major bodywork - guitars, groupies - for frail synthetic vehicles - a keyboard, beatbox - and are about to set off on the tarmac in a sidecar. Are they men or machines in a rut ? It's of little importance as this is a journey guaranteed not to waver and just as visionary as crossing National 7 in a spaceship. Watch out UFOs....- Shop: odax

Femme Plastique
The Belgian Rock debate is dead and buried. It's Phantom now haunts the dark streets of England... After the solo album L'homme Libellule in 2007, critically acclaimed for it's arrangements, and three collaborative albums by the Phantom project, namely Lio, Jacques Duvall and Marie France, producer Miam Monster Miam returns to the fray all engines firing! Abandoning American Garage Rock and the Liege nucleus of his Freaksville label, this time he heads for England: throwing his cowboy persona in the Thames and replacing it with a power-pop King's Road swagger. Here the glamourous seedy smog of The Stranglers permeates the keyboards, alongside the rhythm section of The Only Ones, pulsating like an East End pub on match night. Add roguish charm, radioactive layers, licks as sharp as a dart and it's a potent cocktail, shaken not stirred. He's accompanied by The Loved Drones, his Anglo-Belgian backing band as featured in Phantom, as well as the cream of Wallonian pop: producer Marc Moulin on piano, Marc 'Morgan' Wathieu (founder of The Tricheurs) on guitar, Girls in Hawaii bassist and singer of Hallo Kosmo, Daniel Offerman but also guests like Marie France, theremin retro-futurist Man From Uranus and the mysterious Marie Ange...so, a real English dish, served up with a pint of stout on the side. The Freaksville spirit is ever-present, primarily through insistent guitar but also in the comic universe it creates. In addition to cover of La Variété (J'écoute une K7 de la vedette) and lyrics by Michel Moers of Telex (J'aurais Ta Peau) and Jacques Duvall (Le roi des paranos, Le pseudonyme), the words look towards a weird and twisted future, a cyber-wallonia of 2035 where a computer finds love, the perfect woman arrives from another galaxy, and a ventriloquist is dumped by his dummy. This is the universe that The Love Drones unfolded in the hands of Ed Peffer of Fortress Studios in Provost Street (stomping ground of such groups as Primal Scream, Death In Vegas, Spiritualized et Magazine)and then mixed by Gilles Martin (Front 242, Polyphonic size, Minimal Compact as well as Venus and Girls In Hawaii). The end result is electrified rock 'n roll played by strange machines that bounds along like a bubble-gum red double-decker bus. Play It Again, Miam!- Shop: odax
