A last minute Christmas gift idea: Trésor National, a local label which specializes in quality dusting, offers a second compilation, published on vinyl record in 1000 copies, of post-punk/new wave/synthpop gems tinkered with by the scene most marginal in Quebec. An admirably carried out rescue operation: rescued from oblivion, this RITA Computerminimalist piton groove from the Androides trio who later became IKO, author of the album’83 today coveted by collectors. More frankly rock, let’s savor the look of Derek Kendricks and his nastiness Zimbabweor the quasi-garage You’re Too Rude from The Essentials. Also (re)discover, Men Without Hats before the global success of Safety Dance (kraftwerkian National 7), an electro-absurd rarity from the obscure formation WWindo (Do Not Stack) and the only French song from redShift (Anachronistic), sung by Jean-Robert Bisaillon, future French B. Richly detailed booklet included: beautiful archivist work, all that.
