Telex - Spike Jones b/w Basta (1986) - single

The Belgian synth-pop group Telex was formed in 1978 by Marc Moulin, Dan Lacksman, and Michel Moers, with the intention of "Making something really European, different from rock, without guitar—and the idea was electronic music." Mixing the aesthetics of disco, punk and experimental electronic music .Telex had a typically Belgian, self-deprecating sense of humour. They were influenced by the famed Brussels school of comics (Tintin etc.). For their initial press shots they had gone for a bizarre, faceless image (later also to be assumed by the likes of Devo and The Residents). In 1986, Telex released the album “Looney Tunes”, with the single ´Spike Jones´.
