I just discovered this band and I am blown away by what I am hearing! I love Space and Didier Marouani, but this stuff is on a whole different level in my opinion - I never heard music before with such dynamic and articulation. These guys have some serious talent!

^ This is really good music guys. After listening to this for a while, I find it hard to listen to anything else. All other music I try seems to sound simplistic by comparison with too many repetitions and not enough expression.

Ok, what I really meant is that this music is very unique. Nowadays, musicians don't make stuff like this anymore for various reasons. The synths used in these recordings are of amazing quality, especially considering how old they are. Also, think about how much harder it was to make electronic music back then with no computers around. It took so much effort and required some real inspiration. I think nowadays computers make music creation too simple and people are being lazy and thus generally do not produce music of as high a quality as musicians back in the 70s and 80s did IMO.
 
But anyway, I am a bit surprised that no one has posted in this thread yet. Come on, no one ever heard of this band? And if you just don't like it, then post why not.
