  • RUTH - POLAROID ROMAN PHOTO, 1985

    Another superb track from the French synth wave compilation BIPPP, the wonderfully melancholic “Polaroid Roman Photo” was originally released in extremely limited edition of only 80 copies and features a distinct synthetic sound of violins and horn flourishes accompanied by two vocals, one that is both warm and sensual, and another that is cold and robotic. Ruth was formed by avant-garde musician Thierry Müller, who had previously recorded strange textural music as Ilitch, along with synth player Philippe Doray of Asociaux Associés, yet another source of incredible, obscure and totally out there electronic sounds from the early French synth wave era.
