Belgian born Plastic Bertrand (aka Roger Marie François Jouret) had an international hit in 1977 with the song "Ça plane pour moi" a rocking number with a great underground sound. But lately I have been bumping a lesser known of his space disco number, "Tout Petit La Planete." The crunchy clavinet and spacey synth leads are very fitting for 1978, harnessing a cosmic sound and tastefully integrating the vocoder with subtlety. And you got to love those guitars, time to bust out the distortion pedals. He is still active musically, check out his website to catch up.
