This is from 1984 more or less. Its a fairly rough version but the best I could come across.<br />
The group is called Cliche and this is a pop/ minimal synth track called I dreamt I was dead.

Be careful not to wet the labels on the inner circle of the records. While its fine to clean plastic laminated covers, be careful with alcohol on paper covers. <br />
<br />
I always replace plastic covers and paper inner sleeves. They look great afterwards.<br />
<br />
Run the lighter quickly over sticky price labels, but be careful not to burn. The heat loosens the sticky gum and makes it easier to remove price tags. Why do some stores put really sticky price tags which are really difficult to remove. <br />
<br />
Alcohol removes most dirt and stains. Its better than the bottles of cd and record cleaner liquids. <br />
<br />
Makes records look likw new before putting them with your collection. <br />

All I know is that its a french group from the 80s with the most sublime synth pop. They have a re-issued album out on Minimal Wave (on lovely vinyl!) called decadence which you also download from itunes.<br />
I've found so little about them on the web. Anyone have any info?<br />
<br />
I recommend the song 'Felicita'<br />
Here's (a very poor) video of them. Looks like someone recorded it from his tv secreen. Thanks for the effort!!<br />

Great new band, wonderful sound.
