ASSEMBLAGE

As its title indicates, this « album » is made from different sources and assembled together. While there are some singles-only tracks, others come from albums, the whole thing being a bit of a compilation that was released in 81, a bit as a new album (if I understood well).

Actually the first few tracks coming from the first albums are of a bit of interest (especially those from the OA album), but we are unfortunately quickly out of the scope of that era and into the ugly new wave electro-pop garbage that the group developed in the new decade.

The remastered version comes with a bunch of bonus tracks, including a number of version of Life in Tokyo and I Second That Emotion, which is a real pain, since those tracks are amongst the worst the group ever managed to scribble.
