They were a French band from the 80s. I think they used the term 'ethno-industrial' to describe their work. Hard to compare them to other specific acts but recommended for fans of krautrock, the more experimental post-punk/industrial artists, fourth world and the type of music that Stroom put out. Anyone else a fan?

This is the most recent release. It's mostly unreleased tracks from back in the day with some new material

Psyko Tropix is so good; one of my most listened to relese of this year. They even seem to channel Gong in places on this one.
'Half Dead Ganja Music' and 'Aither' are big faves to. The reissue of 'Aither' just got a repress this week i believe.

releases!
too!
lack of sleep brain fail.
but yes, they are great and i am surprised they haven't come up before on here.

I did French at school so that reference is lost on me
Unheimlich gut and einfach klasse seem about right though from what I can make out

There's a very good VOD comp that is probably super expensive now

apologies in advance for
promising thread titles that turn out to be on ILM
― challopvious (sleeve), Monday, 8 December 2025 18:49 (one month ago)
Thanks, sleeve! I've a cassette rip of Sucre but will def appreciate the higher quality source.
(Wasn't even aware of this thread but yeah, this is more my idea of a promising "Vox Populi" discussion anyway.)

I wasn't aware of this thread either I don't think!
lol I bet we both got the same MP3 blog rip from back in the day. that tape has been insanely rare for 40 years, I've been looking for 20.

now we just need a reissue of the full "Untitled" tape on the Cthulhu label
― challopvious (sleeve), Tuesday, 9 December 2025 02:26 (one month ago)
Did Cthulhu also release an untitled tape? Or do you mean the one from 1988 on Créations Alternatives? It's strange that this tape has yet to be reissued as it might be their most accessible recording. Well, more "accessible" than Half Dead Ganja Music or Aither.
Agreed that it would be great to have a full remastered version of this one.

the one from 1988 on Créations Alternatives
oops yes, that one, sorry!
― challopvious (sleeve), Tuesday, 9 December 2025 15:47 (one month ago)
there were three tracks on that VOD compilation, but that's it so far
Also a couple appeared on Emo Rescue's Magiques Creations compilation. So I guess it's more a matter of priority rather than licensing

Speaking of reissues, this is fantastic news:
