Telex was a synth-disco trio formed in Brussels, Belgium, in 1978 by keyboardist Marc Moulin, world Health Organization had previously performed with Cos. He was coupled by vocalizer Michel Moers and composer/synthesist Dan Lacksman, and in concert, Telex crafted a slick, stylish brand of Europop/disco with relaxed tempos and often-processed vocals. Their debut album, Look for Saint-Tropez, was released in 1979, containing signature songs wish the deed track, "Moskow Diskow," and slowed-down covers of "Rock Around the Clock" and Plastic Bertrand's "Ca Plane Pour Moi." Neurovision (1980) and Sexual urge (1981) followed, with the latter employing lyricists Ron and Russell Mael. (A 1982 U.K.-only release, Birds and Bees, contains all just three of Sex's tracks, asset several singles.) Nothing much was heard from the group after 1984's Howling World until 1988, when Loony Tunes displayed an about turn toward goofy, effects-laden electronic music somewhat consanguineous to the Art of Noise or Yello. The banding skint up soon after, though all deuce-ace members likewise released material. Ten years subsequently, long after all Telex material had done for verboten of print, the band received the remix-album intervention on SSR's I Don't Like Music (Remixes), featuring a host of new-school electronic producers like Carl Craig, Buckfunk 3000, Patrick Pulsinger, and Glenn Underground. A secernate phonograph record, I Don't Like Remixes, presented the Telex originals. The set proved so democratic that a indorsement remix disc, I (Motionless) Don't Like Remixes, Vol. 2, was released the following year.
