logo! 3 years in the making. Compiled in an absolute labor of love and
devotion: Now finally IN STOCK! Undo Records release a very special compilation of lost South of France technopop act VIENNA. Formed in 1984 under the name ACADEMIE, they comprised of vocalist Odile Arias, her brother Dominique and Thierry Martinez. Impressing with a demo that had reached Ariola Records, they went on to support French top act INDOCHINE. Eventually signing with RCA in 1986 and changing their name to VIENNA, their debut single was the sublime 'Say You Love Me (Tu as juré?)'. Influenced by KRAFTWERK and British acts such as DEPECHE MODE, OMD and GARY NUMAN, VIENNA sounded like a dreamy, less industrialised cousin of HARD CORPS, the other famous French Electro act, who supported DEPECHE MODE during the 'Music for the Masses' tour. But the DM connections don't end there… in fact, VIENNA singer Odile became Martin Gore's girlfriend during this period, having met at a DM show after they left RCA and signed to Mute France in 1987. She can be seen as part of the DM entourage in famous DM film documentary '101'. Another great single 'Pour ne pas me toucher' produced by Rico Conning (best known for his 'Blind Mix' of DM's 'Strangelove' with Daniel Miller) was issued shortly after but by 1989, VIENNA were no more. Odile Arias continued briefly as a solo artist releasing 'Reste avec Moi' in 1990. Now in 2014, all of those singles plus B-sides like 'Viens dans la Chambre' and many of the demos recorded by VIENNA between 1985 to 1990 (and unreleased in the vaults of Mute Records) have been gathered together and given a chance to shine. As can be expected, the quality is variable from full studio masters to cassette recordings but several songs like the sparsely chirpy 'Rendez-vous sur la mer noire' and the moodier 'Un dernier Domance avant la Guerre' are wonderfully exquisite diamonds in the mine that have now been unearthed, Odile's exquisite allure providing much enjoyment to the synthesized soundtrack… | |
