A reissue of the acclaimed self-released, sold-out, vinyl-only debut release from this laptop-armed French electronic army (featuring members of TONE REC). A charged and charming nerve-cracker of fucked and glitchy electronic beats, tones and melodies that fall somewhere between the off-center textures of OVAL and the splintered electronics of KID 606. Includes bonus tracks and new artwork. Originally released as a vinyl-only LP on DAT Politics’ Skipp label in 1998, subsequently reissued by Tigerbeat6 on CD with new art and two bonus tracks — both versions have been out of print for quite a while — this specially priced jewel box reissues the second album made by the Lille, France, electronics / computer quartet who create charmingly fucked-up, glitchy electronic beats, tones and melodies. After many releases and collaborative work with innovative and respectable labels such as A-Musik, Mille Plateaux, Skipp, Boytropp Boy and Berlin-based electro-trash label Chicks on Speed Records, DAT Politics have established themselves as an ever evolving and always enjoyable staple of the electronic music community. They’ve been hailed by many as “the future electronic pop” and by The Wire as “a total revelation … bristling with possibilities…. Structures are pushed and pulled, and explode excitedly, as thought and play become audible and contagious. Their music falls somewhere between the off-center textures of Oval or Pita, and the splintered computer funk of Team Doyobi, Kid606, or even Mouse On Mars.” * Back in print with a nice price • First headlining tour of North America May thru June, plus festivals and one-offs in Europe • Bandmember Aelters is now on Mouse on Mars’ Sonig label • New heavily promoted album on Chicks On Speed Records in the fall
