Selenite Vox/Les Abscons - Split 10"


And here's the first release on Prinzip Products.
A pretty rare split 10" released in 1982 in an oversized fold-out sleeve.
Selenite Vox came from Le Havre and offer 4 tracks of experimental synth stuff. One of their tracks was comped on the New Wave Complex boot series.
Les Abscons were from Lyon and offer 3 tracks of experimental weirdness. As far as I know this is their only release.
The label was named after Prinzip, the person who got arrested for shooting Franz Ferdinand. The start of WWI.
I scanned the whole sleeve for your viewing pleasure.

The French really had an affinity for this kind of music, didn't they? There was a time in the early 80s when they seemed to turn out records like this en masse. I wonder why France took so readily to this style and not, say, Germany?
