Polaroïd/Roman/Photo

Notes : Remastered CD reissue of the third album of Thierry Müller (aka ILITCH) released in 1985 under the name of RUTH ( in dedication to Ruth who "left"), with a 16 pages booklet (which includes the remastering of the original vinyl booklet), plus three bonus tracks : two versions of Polaroïd/roman/photo from 1982 & 1984 and a remix track by L’Orchestre Inachevé (aka Patrick Müller and Laurent Saïet).
For this RUTH album, Thierry Muller had the collaboration of Phippe Doray, Frédérique Lapierre, and Edouard Nono for the texts, Marc Duconseille for some arrangements and the help of several other musicians. This ensemble gives a very musical and structured album, with fine arrangements which give, like in Ilitch’s albums, some powerful climates.
We can define “Polaroïd/roman/photo”, if its possible, like a relax mood erotic-melodic-synthe-80’s pop album.
Polaroïd/roman/photo (the track, text by Philippe Doray) , with Mots and Mabelle ( a kind of ”disco” revisited version of Waiting for Mabelle on Ilitch/10 suicides) are, in 85’ and even now, cult in Germany, northern Europe and Japan.
At last and not at least, we can listen to a clever cover of She brings the rain by Can. The first cover of a Can piece recorded and published on a LP.
