Philippe Doray / Asociaux Associes - Nouveaux Modes Industriels (Invisible Records, 1980)
Another record that appears to us as an unknown object from who knows where in the universe. "Nouveaux Modes Industriels" (Invisible Records, 1980). A true UFO. A recording made in France at the Malax-Mobile in Monterolier between May 1978 and January 1980 by the French musician Philippe Doray and his ensemble Asociaux Associes, characterized by distinctly dystopian elements. The album seems to emerge not directly from another era, at least from that other side of the ocean and that New York scene later defined as the birthplace of the no-wave music movement. Indeed, it's an avant-garde music album ahead of its time for dear old Europe, this "Nouveaux Modes Industriels." The sound of the guitars recalls certain minimalist compositions from the late seventies and the eighties, particularly sharp and mostly essential; the songs are largely marked by a visionary schizophrenia typical of artists like the Residents, mixed with the style of experiences such as Tuxedomoon and hallucinations of This Heat. Charlie Parker ("Latex") and Ennio Morricone ("Dans Le Dèdale") and Kraftwerk ("Musique Pour Residences Secondaires") are shaken together in a blender of jazz fusion experimentalism, derivative vocal exercises from cabaret experiences, and various uses of synth, anticipations of dub reverberations, and even some hints close to hip-hop appear seemingly without any pattern throughout the entire work. One of the most interesting and underground moments of art-rock in Europe during those years.
