Martin Dupont
Sleep Is A Luxury
Martin Dupont was without a doubt one of the biggest cult bands of the French New Wave scene of the early 80s! They were New Wave, dreamy electro, and coldwave yet completely accessible. Originally from Marseilles, Martin Dupont formed in 1981 and went on to release a single, a cassette, several albums, and played several live shows, supporting big acts such as Siouxsie & the Banshees and countless others. The group consisted of Alain Seghir, Brigitte Balian and Beverley Jane Crew, with Catherine Loy in the original line-up. Their music style was classified as minimal synth mixing both male and female vocals. This second album originally released in 1985 is pretty short, it maks the left of Catherine and the coming in of Beverley, it is here backed with the Your Passion 7" plus six bonus track whom four are totally unreleased.
