Telex

Belgian all-electronic disco pop band formed in 1978 by radio DJ / jazz musician Marc Moulin, programmer / sound engineer Dan Lacksman and vocalist Michel Moers. The group's first three singles (Twist A Saint Tropez, Moskow Diskow and Rock Around The Clock) became hits in Europe and a number of Telex 12"s were popular in dance clubs, especially in the USA. Telex made five albums between 1979 and 1988 - [i]Looking For Saint Tropez[/i], [i]Neurovision[/i], [i]Sex[/i], [i]Wonderful World[/i], and [i]Looney Tunes[/i]. During a nearly 20-year hiatus came a series of remix albums and compilations, culminating in the 2006 release of the album [i]How Do You Dance?[/i] which brought together newly recorded and previously unreleased material. During the hiatus, Marc Moulin produced many pop albums, was one of the head programmers on French-speaking Belgian national radio and was an author and playwright. He died of cancer on 26 September 2008. Dan Lacksman runs [l315683], a studio complex in Brussels. Michel Moers lives in the Provence, France, and is a video director and photographer.
