Having heard again, after quite a few years, the music of French's duo Mathematiques Modernes, I just confirm how much I love this very early, basic, pioneering and analogic sounds of the bands who made pop with machines in the years 1978 to 1981 (Les visiteurs du soir, the record of this band I was listening to, is from 1981).
Bands such as this, or Landscape, or Our Daughter's Wedding, or A Popular History Of Signs, or Dalek I or The Passage, even The Normal/Silicon Teens thing... bands who just played with one-finger keyboard lines and naïve sound effects.
So I come here to ask for more bands to keep looking for, and I would be grateful for any help you can give me. Of course, it's not necessary to mention obvious examples such as Kraftwerk or DAF...[:)] I mean lesser known groups who made cold pop with early synths.
Thank you all.
