Limited 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. Three young Belgian musicians, Marc Moulin, Dans Lackman and Michel Moers, created a new form of music by using clever little, playful melodies, true synthscapes and electronic sound waves in 1979. The legendary band Telex was born. Their debut album Looking For Saint-Tropez is a pop-historical album, gaining international attention in it's fun approach to the popular new wave of that time. The band mixed aesthetics of disco, punk and experimental electronic music, and released a stripped-down synthesized cover version of 'Twist à St. Tropez' by Les Chats Sauvages. Followed by an ultra-slow cover of 'Rock Around the Clock', a relaxed and dispassionate version of Plastic Bertrand's punk song 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' and a mechanical cover of 'Dance to the Music', originally by Sly Stone. The worldwide hit single 'Moskow Diskow' created the breakthrough for the band. Moskow Diskow, Pakmovast, Cafe De La Jungle, Ca Plane Pour Moi, Some Day/Un Jour, Something to Say, Rock Around the Clock, Victime De La Societe, Twist a Saint Tropez
