Antena is a French-Belgian synthpop trio known for their influential debut album, Camino Del Sol, released in 1982. Their unique sound and style have made them a standout in the music industry. Although subsequent Antena albums feature Isabelle Powaga, they do not include Fasy or Moiroud.

With their catchy melodies and innovative use of synthesizers, Antena has captivated audiences worldwide. Their music has inspired many artists in the genre, including *Anna Domino*, *Virna Lindt*, and *Marine Girls*. Fans of *Lizzy Mercier Descloux*, *The Durutti Column*, and *Saâda Bonaire* will also appreciate Antena's distinctive sound.

Other notable artists who share similarities with Antena include *Algebra Suicide*, *Arthur Russell*, and *Isabelle Antena*. For fans of experimental music, bands like *The Cleaners From Venus*, *Young Marble Giants*, and *Deux Filles* offer a similar experience. Additionally, if you enjoy the electronic sounds of groups like ESG, Chris & Cosey, or Gina X Performance, you'll find something to love in Antena's discography.

'toujours du soleil' is the brand new album from antena - stylish french electro-bossa pioneers whose debut 'camino del sol' is now an acknowledged genre classic. antena's groundbreaking mix of kraftwerk, suicide and the breezy tropicalia of the gilberto family (joao, astrud and bebel) sounds as fresh in 2006 as in 1982, when john foxx produced their debut single, 'the boy from ipanema', and future pet shop boy neil tennant tagged them electro-samba. the label still applies, and echoes of the antena sound can be heard in artists as diverse as stereolab, electralane and thievery corporation - indeed the latter duo co-wrote two of the thirteen songs on 'toujours du soleil'. the remixed antena trio for 2006 consists of main songwriter isabelle antena together with daughter penelope fasy (replacing her father sylvain) and hip brussels dj axailes solar. conceived as a sequel to 'camino del sol', 'toujours du soleil' (always the sun) was recorded on the french riviera - where else? - and produced by dr drak, shape and the cool groove sessions. featuring a stellar cast of prestigious international guests, the 2006 antena trip takes you from paris to tokyo, goa to washington cd. stand-out tracks include energetic stepper 'le spinner' (already familiar from the samsonite ad campaign), future lounge classic 'toujours du soleil' and the electro-groovy 'love is to blame', as well as a magical version of the laid-back america classic 'horse with no name'. on ltm.
