about

In the typical DIY spirit of the post-Punk era, Etat brut was formed in the late 70s by two physics teachers, both named Philippe. Influenced by Throbbing Gristle, La Monte Young, SPK, NoN, Esplendor Geometrico, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music and works by English writer JG Ballard, they pioneered the Belgian underground noise/industrial scene with uncompromising sonic experiments and breathtaking performances at legendary Club Moral. This compilation shows their sound is still incredibly modern, considering the rudimentary technology available at the time and the inventiveness they had to deploy when samplers simply didn't exist. They remained active until the mid 80s and left a series of tapes used as raw material for the present album. Their 1982 "Mutations et Prothèses" LP was released by Belgian cult label Sub Rosa in 2012.
