In 1976, the Asociaux Associés led by Philippe Doray (Rotomagus, Ruth, Crash),recorded the first of the two albums under their own name: 'Ramasse-MiettesNucléaires'. On synthesiser, Doray fires off his disturbing poetry overpsychedelic pop, voodoo rock, off-kilter krautrock, approximate swing... But ifthe music is iconoclastic (bringing to mind as much Hendrix as Areski, Ash RaTempel as Berrocal...), one thing is certain: 'Ramasse-Miettes Nucléaires' isone of the best albums of obscure experimental songs ever recorded. It is nosurprise that Steven Stapleton included Philippe Doray on the Nurse With Woundlist, found between the Doo-Dooettes and Jean Dubuffet: his music is genuinelyoriginal and, what is more, ahead of its time. Originally released in 1977.
