Sucrepop
Sucrepop is a French one man band. It's a lo-Fi synth band, lost somewhere between OMD, the Buggles and french's songwriter Michel Berger. Among other particularities, one thing that qualify Sucrepop as different from other similar band, it's the choice to give away one new song the first of each month since 1999. Each of those songs are available totally free for no commercial use on Sucrepop's website in mp3 or real audio format. Even karaoke version can be downloaded. If Sucrepop is a one man band, it's certainly not a one man voice. All the singers that took part to the sucrepop's project were found on the net. Some are from France, or from Belgium or Canada. Take the last song available as I wrote thoses lines , Pardon (www.sucrepop.com/066pardon.html) The female singer,Stella kelly, , has recorded the vocals near the Montreal, Canada, The rythm guitar , from Jseb, was recorded near Paris, and Phil, as usual has done all other noises from his attic. And month after month, the story continues.
