X RAY POP - VINYL PIRATE! THE DARK SIDE.. [VINYL]

Popis - PIRATE! THE DARK SIDE.. [VINYL]:
Micro kosmic synth pop, pocket punk, French funk ultra rarity. Originally released in 1985 as a limited edition of 100 black cassette tapes. As one of the most prolific and viciously self-sufficient exponents of the early '80s French DIY/domestic synth pop scene X Ray Pop are a group who are easy to scratchthe surface but almost impossible to get the bottom of. Peeping out of a warren of unexplored passages their seminal self-distributed debut singles and appearances on the genre defining 'Alternative Funk Folie Distingue' compilation in 1984 made them an omnipresent fixture for the French tape wave scene that shaped a generation and influenced many more to follow. But beneath the trademark fluorescent sleeves stands the highly stacked foundations of endless cassette only releases that give this pocket punk husband and wife duo one of the most impressive and elusive back catalogues of all their cut'n'paste French funk contemporaries.
