CD - Je Communique by Sandrine Collard

I must recommend this album, which I stumbled across while looking for work by Dan Lacksman, who produced this and is of course best known for his work with Telex (I also discovered his rather bland solo album Electric Dreams, which seems to have been released in 2013 with no publicity whatsoever). Sandrine Collard seems to have had a couple of solo hits in Belgium, and worked with a band called Ideal Husbands, before disappearing from the music scene. I believe she's now back in a band called Dallas, though I haven't found their releases yet.
Je Communique is a tasty slice of Belgo-pop from 2002 with typically quirky Lacksman bleeps and bloops, and Sandrine's gamine voice suits the production perfectly. Pity she didn't do more in this style, but you can find her videos on YouTube.
