As early as 1982, a first version of the track 'Polaro\\xefd\/Roman\/Photo' emerged. 'I wanted to write a piece to make the girls dance and make fun of the boys. I plugged a small handmade clock on my Farfisa organ as a sequencer. I had a small Roland synth-guitar, I put the organ in it and that's how it started.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Doray, a big name of French experimental music, is amused by the idea of working on a more pop project and offers to write the lyrics. Thierry works on other tracks for the future LP and asks some friends to write other lyrics: Edouard Nono, visual artist, writes the lyrics of 'Mots', Fr\\xe9d\\xe9rique Lapierre those of 'Misty Mouse' and 'Tu m'ennuies'. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was finally released in 1985 on Paris Album, a small independent label but barely sells 50 copies. In 2004, two DJs Marc Colin and Ivan Smagghe discover the track 'Polaro\\xefd\/Roman\/Photo' and decide to exhume it from oblivion. They release it on a compilation called 'So Young But So Cold: Underground French Music 1977 \\u2013 1983' (Tigersushi) and then Born Bad Records includes it on the 'BIPPP - French Synth-Wave 1979\/85' compilation in 2008. Thanks to them, the track and the album start a new life, which sees several limited edition (and now highly expensive) represses coming out between 2010 and 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThriller\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolaro\\xefd\/Roman\/Photo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe Brings The Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMisty Mouse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMabelle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMots\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTu M'Ennuies\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128083071361,"sku":"1384699","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/31JEg0ZLbIL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766751784","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1384699","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
