Name: Le quart d'heure de l'étrange by Fiendish Fib
Duration: 9 min 40 s
Description: "CFM" (Crêperie FM) was a fictive radio show specially created by Fiendish Fib (Henning Specht & Pierre Gastou) for Patrice Carré's exhibition "Crêperie 2000" at the "Espace des Arts" in Colomiers in december 1999

It all started as a joke at a party. How would it be to create a French-singing, French-themed band called France? Music-wise, it would have to be 80s of course. With Telex and Kraftwerk as ultimate references... Well, there will always be people who can’t take a joke. People like Henning Specht (Fiendish Fib, Hypnolove), François Remigi (Abberline) and Pierre Gastou (Fiendish Fib). Together, they decided to turn this unlikely project into solid reality. The result is a unique mixture of pulsating Italo Disco, revisited French Touch and synth-driven Chanson, where romanticism and dry wit collide. A first tour de France, which is also a tour de force, with four mind-blowing dance-floor killers.

Ça a commencé dans une soirée, comme une blague: créer un groupe qui s’appellerait France, qui chanterait en français et dont la principale source d’inspiration serait le pays dont il porte le nom. La musique serait, quant à elle, sous influence des années 80 avec pour références ultimes Telex et Kraftwerk. Il y a toujours des gens qui ne comprennent pas les blagues. C’est le cas de Henning Specht (Fiendish Fib, Hypnolove), François Remigi (Abberline) et Pierre Gastou (Fiendish Fib) qui ont décidé de donner vie à cet improbable projet. Le résultat sonore se situe quelque part entre Italo Disco et French Touch, Electro et variété française, là où l’on peut chanter « En Camargue il y a des flamants roses » le plus sérieusement du monde.
