New album by French artist ALEX SINDROME (aka SINDROME) and this one is released on CD and on cassette tape (with great artwork!) "Solidaire Dans L'Isolement" brings the best of 80s French new wave to mind and sounds very appropriate in those lock down times! "Class 1987" (probably my favourite track) will probably make you...
