Mikado De Paris - Par Hasard

Non-Standard - 12"

Japan, 1985

Chanson / Synth-Pop

Debut 12" by Parisian synth-pop duo Mikado, originally released on Les Disques du Crépuscule. Superb music relaying on Casio keyboard presets, chords and rhythm patterns. Lushier than Elli & Jacno, but just as candid! Big In Japan (Hosono would evenutally produce Un Naufrage en Hiver)! Remember when French aesthetics were synonymous with quirkyness and elegance? Why do we have to suffer these terrible JO de Paris artworks... "C'était mieux avant"  (VG+/VG+)
