Self released cassette, France, 1986

This was Bruno Chapoutot’s first release as Brodé Tango, after his duo Germain Hubert Ales (mini-LP on AAA, 1982), the Rock Feller trio (mini-LP on AAA, 1983) and the Look De Bouk band (‘Lacrimae Rerum’ LP, AYAA, 1985). Note: AAA stands for ‘A l’Autome Allité’ – as for AYAA, I don’t know. A gifted guitar player, Chapoutot is also a poetic composer who put Satie back into rock’n'roll, in a way comparable to what like-minded maverick Pascal Comelade was doing at the time. Brodé Tango is part of a parallel universe where asteroids are nammed ‘An Der Schönen Blauen Donau’ [>] or ‘Trois Lapins’ [>]. This cassette has been a favorite since I got it in the late 1980s and time did not erode Brodé Tango’s music singularities, merely amplifying the uniqueness of its ingredients: naive, tender and handsome.
