Looking for Saint TropezTelex12 Remastered AlbumGenre: RockDescription: 'Looking for Saint Tropez' was Telex's debut album originally released in 1979. It contains covers of Plastic Bertrand's pop-punk 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' and Bill Haley's 'Rock Around the Clock' 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 'Moskow Diskow' 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.
