Two Nancy's [Lorraine, France] bands split this tape. They are Gangrene and Candidate (they still play). It's their first release and the first release for Permis de Construire label [26 rue St. Julien, Nancy Lorraine]. The two bands sounds similar, a combinations of minimal-synthesizers and rhythm machine with guitar, sometimes poppy but always punk-attitude and electronic-experiment. Candidate stuck us with syncopatic and alienated songs to ended with a fine and sweet song. Esotic and dissonant at the same time.
Gangrene are definitively more obscure and creepy, the fifth track is in a typical french-synth way like Neva or Bocal 5, the second track is real synth-punk madness and the track with male-vocal is a fuzzy residents-soul gem.
Candidate formed in 1983 by Cécile (vocals, keyboards) and Bidou (guitar) [who also played with Geins't Naït]. Gangrene were: Johnny Ravio (guitar), Annie (vocals, electronics) and R.X Poirot (vocals, electronics) [who also played with Geins't Naït]. They later release another split in vinyl 7'' format edited by Permis de Construire / Dum Dum, and they both appears on 'Nancy Compilation' lp 1986. Later Candidate released others stuff on vinyls.
