AMOUR PUZZLE - Pas Mieux EP 1983

Perfect evening yesterday and my first concert since February 2020, great sound, lots of beer, and met a lot of old friends. Phew, but this morning I'm badly hung over and still have so much to do. And that's where a little pop goodie comes in handy and that's exactly what you get now. Here we go: Following the scuttling of Laxatif 126, Gil and Didier Gonet, respectively composer-guitarist and lyricist-singer, continue their journey by founding the duo Amour Puzzle in 1982. A year later the duo released their first EP Pas Mieux on Le Kiosque D'Orphée with four nice synth-pop songs, supported by Vincent (bass) and Nicolas (drums), which, if there was justice, should have directly climbed to the Top 10. The band hibernates in his home studio, recording many songs there At the same time, the duo reaps the fruits of the efforts sown over the two years past, through the national press. In 1987 comes their second and final 7Inch Prends Moi on the Parisian label Milk Shake Records with two supercharged Poprock which, if god drank less, would have deserved to be the HIT of the Eighties.
