ACT_004_METAL BOYS_TOKIO AIRPORT CD

Issued on March 30, 2004, on the Acute label, under licence from Seventeen, this compilation CD is exclusive to the USA. It presents for the first time on this territory the complete Metal Boys recordings, remixed and remastered, without the bonus disc available in France.

After years of forging their seminal synth-punk sound in the late 70s and receiving critical yet little financial success, Paris's Metal Urbain had no choice but to re-group and, with the addition of a female vocalist, take their processed electronics aesthetic even further as the Metal Boys.

Their mash-up of sounds and styles makes them difficult to pigeon-hole, but punk, rockabilly, GAINSBOURG-esque song, dub, industrial, and new wave all appear.

The Metal Boys created one of the greatest synth-pop experiments of the time, but until now few have been able to hear their long out-of-print avant-electro. Acute Records is proud to present for the first time ever on one cd their only lp Tokio Airport plus nine previously unreleased tracks, all remixed and remastered.
