MATHÉMATIQUES MODERNES - Les Visiteurs Du Soir

Released in 1981 on the famous Celluloid imprint, this is now reissued on Vinyl and CD.
Mathématiques Modernes was the project of keyboardist Claude Arto and vocalist/lyricist Edwige Braun-Belmore.
Arto has also worked with French bands Artefact and Spions. Also, to note, the late French producer Jacno also worked on the Mathématiques Modernes record.
This gem needs no introduction to the fans who have enjoyed the classics from this era.
The record is a very diverse blend of new wave, almost progressive arrangement, baroque melodies, complex rhythmic structures, and plenty of so called "cold wave" sprinkled in.
The addition of horns was not a common finding during these times and is also represented on this eclectic record.
Probably the most well known track, "Disco Rough" was a single as well as was later included on the popular comp, "So Young But So Cold, Underground French Music 1977-1983" released in 2004 on Tigersushi Records.
