LE NUMERO QUE VOUS AVEZ DEMANDE...

...NE REPOND PLUS

From their debut album in 1977 to their split in 1986, Téléphone were the leading rock band in France. In their rather short carreer, they had quite a handful of hits such as Métro (c'est trop), La bombe humaine, Ca (c'est vraiment toi), Un autre monde or Le jour s'est levé. Only the final one, a song they recorded little time before calling it quits, has been left out of this compilation as it clearly showed a band that had nothing left to say... Do enjoy those 20 songs and 80 minutes covering their five studio albums which showed them refining their teenage angst to an almost adult level and their straight ahead rocking formula to a more subtle, yet still rocking, songwriting... Téléphone were a great band, I feel they would have been much bigger if expressing themselves in English. They chose French and, therefore, went relatively unnoticed outside of France. Here's a chance to catch up on a great rock band which has been rumoured to plan a reformation in the near future... Wait & see...
