Rare experimental electronic Sp by Claude Arto, a spearhead of french electronic scene, with an astonish version of the bridge on the river kwaï: "A-Kwai Système" has crooked moog work + kwai melody played with synthetic whistle + fat TR 808 drums. Sounds so crazy ! B Face "Betty Boop" is a noisy electronic post punk cut, with crazy synth work ... Superb mint copy.
