Doray, Philippe -& Les Asociaux Associes-
Nouveaux Modes Industriels
Between 1978 and 1980, the Asociaux Associés recorded the second of the two albums which appeared under their name: 'Nouveaux Modes Industriels'. Philippe Doray, with the help of his Associés, evermore iconoclastic and numerous, backs up his anguished poetry with customised krautrock, hallucinatory pop and rock. Much more than a memory of the then surprising (and disturbing) 'Swinging Rouen', this album is an intergalactic ambush. In 1980, 'Nouveaux Modes Industriels' was published thanks to the support of Invisible, the label of the Société Coopérative d'Ouvriers-Producteurs Artistiques (S.C.O.P.A.) run by, amongst others, the ex-manager of Crium Delirium, Jacques Pasquier. This meant that Doray had free reign for his electric poetry, his personal delirium, to be heard. He had already shaken up French music with his mix of pop, krautrock and free jazz; a few months later he would undergo a change which would be the precursor of his future projects Ruth and Crash.
