GEINS'T NAÏT Get's
Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-industrial collages, adding guitars, piano, and classical instruments. Geins't Naït and Laurent Petitgand sharpen sounds, giving them a kind of balance and density and ensuring that the musical language evokes a deep experience. Their music is raw and fascinating, and largely influenced by Surrealists and Situationists. Their early albums were released by French label Permis De Construire, with Get's being the band's third album, originally released on cassette in 1988. It features 17 tracks that have been carefully remastered for CD by Martin Bowes. Full tracklist: 1. Sleep 2. Un Homme Et Une Femme 3. Zone 4. Grytm 5. Diner 6. La Callas 1 7. Désormais 8. La Callas 2 9. Aldo 00 10. Aways 11. La Plus Belle 12. Modern Art 13. Beautiful Machine 14. Tourisme A Paris 15. Tourisme En Turkie 16. Loory 17. Avant Tout. Price: € 19,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.
Its a seventeen-track album, which blends dense and murky industrial electronics, with hacking beat scapes and weird/surreal sound texturing. All making for an overwhelming, crude, odd, at points disorienting ride.

Electronics play a more significant role, perhaps not as much in the musique concrète way, but rather as a rough take on electronic pop music of the mid-1980s, melting it down, extracting loops and such. Some of these pieces remain a mere set of loops, with some rudimentary mixing, which made me think of some of these as ideas for further development. And, because this is released on a cassette, the semi-finished state isnt essential and is a peek at working methods and how they develop their music.
