LIAISONS DANGEREUSES - PEUT ÉTRE… PAS, 1981 LP

Incredible electro punk album from 1981, produced at Conny Plank’s studio (Kraftwerk, Can, Eno) in Köln. Liaisons Dangereuses was a short-lived group from Germany that pioneered industrial dance music, or electronic body music as it was referred to, with only one album formed from a series of four ten-minute cassette recordings using sparse combinations of vocals, echo, reverberation and other electronic, mixing, equalisation, and editing effects. Their minimal and incredibly avant garde sound which could just as easily be categorized as post punk or no wave became a major reference point for Chicago house and Detroit techno.
