Press Release

‘How Do You Dance?’ was originally released in 2006 as the band’s sixth studio album. The record proved that Telex remained not only true to themselves but had grown with the new developments in musical software. This is released alongside ‘Wonderful World’ and ‘Looney Tunes’ on vinyl, following the individual release of ‘Looking For Saint-Tropez’, ‘Neurovision’ and ‘Sex’ and the now sold-out coloured vinyl box set. The Belgian synthpop trio - Marc Moulin (1942-2008), Lacksman and Michel Moers - launched in Brussels in 1978 and, as one of only a handful of synthpop pioneers at the time, helped bring electronic pop to the mainstream. Telex announced their retirement in 2008, following Moulin’s death, and in 2021 began a new partnership with Mute beginning with the release of ‘This Is Telex’.

Recent praise: “Telex were largely misunderstood during their time together in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, yet this boxset containing the arch Belgian synthpop trio’s six newly remastered albums suggests they deserve a closer listen.” - Uncut (8/10)
“This release is a must for all synth music fans.” - Blitzed magazine; “a vital bridge between Kraftwerk and arguably all subsequent EDM... New Beat’s ground zero.” - Classic Rock
