Another from the desirable category of
“Other”, or in this case “Autre”, are French weirdo's, DDAA(Déficit Des Années Antérieures - or in English; A Debt to the the past?).
A Gallic Residents and/or amphibian cousins of Renaldo and the Loaf .Around since1979,when the Residents were good.This cassette was released just as their Louisiana born cousins(which is the French
bit of the USA),The actual Residents, were turning shit; and even Renaldo's
loaves were becoming stale. Thankfully, no Emulators harm the bizarre
tunes on this tape;the instrument that did for the Residents,would
definitely not be available in France until a few years after
everywhere else. I'm not a great fan of France or French music(as you
may have guessed from a previous post here), post 1956, but there are
exceptions to most rules,and DDAA are one of these. Fine music made
with very little equipment, where technology is replaced and
superseded by inventiveness and a ladle full of obtuse weirdness.

I like your 'weird' label here. DDAA are of stunning longevity - still going strong after all these years. I saw them live 2 weeks ago in Brest and it was a treat. They are first and foremost visual artists and always manage to load you up with heaps of healthy synesthesia. Since about 1984 they excel in loop layering and I'm yet to fathom the secret. Great people too, btw.
