X Ray Pop is a pioneering French electronic music duo formed in the late 1970s. Their unique sound combines elements of new wave, synthpop, and experimental music. With their innovative use of synthesizers and drum machines, X Ray Pop created a distinctive style that set them apart from their contemporaries.

Influenced by artists such as *Plus Instruments*, *Dark Day*, and *Solid Space*, X Ray Pop's music is characterized by catchy melodies, quirky lyrics, and infectious rhythms. Their songs often explore themes of technology, alienation, and the human condition.

Over the years, X Ray Pop has released several albums and singles that have gained a cult following among fans of underground electronic music. Their discography includes notable tracks like "La Machine à Rêver," "Eurasienne," and "Alcool." With their unconventional approach to songwriting and production, X Ray Pop continues to inspire musicians today.

Micro kosmic domestic synth pop, pocket punk, French funk ultra rarity. Originally released in 1985 as a limited edition of 100 black cassette tapes and now re-released by Finders Keepers / Cache Cache. Wearing their unabashed and generally incompatible influences of Can / Devo / Brigitte Bardot / Cramps / The Residents / Kraftwerk / Captain Beefheart / PIL / Brian Eno / Robert Wyattt / Gainsbourg / MAGMA proudly on their sleeves, this long lost tape captures a one day recording session which was originally released as 100 cassettes in 1985 at a time where various outside influences and competing labels were trying to snare the band into a slower more manageable pop entity.
