ILITCH '10 Suicides' LP (US, Superior Viaduct, Catalogue #SV075) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2015 Superior Viaduct label LP edition (originally released in 1980 on the French S.C.O.P.A. label) of 1980 album release of Avant-Electro Guitar-Synth-Vocoder driven Art Damaged Experimental Pop and Nightmare Soundtrack Fuel by French artist Thierry Müller, here under the guise of Ilitch.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

"In 1980, Ilitch mastermind Thierry Müller released his second LP, 10 Suicides, on the French imprint S.C.O.P.A. Unlike his debut Periodikmindtrouble (also available from Superior Viaduct), which featured intricately layered instrumentals, 10 Suicides explores a more art-damaged pop sensibility. While distorted guitars and atmospheric synth workouts remain a part of Müller's signature sound, several songs credit the mysterious Ruth Ellyeri, who was not an actual person, but rather Müller's female alter-ego. Opening track 'Elle Voulait Que Je Sois Drôle' shows Ilitch's new direction with overloaded vocoders, driving Moog basslines and soft, Eno-like melodic flourishes. The androgynous vocals on 'Waiting For Mabelle (Je Ne Viendrais Pas)' resemble an upbeat Gregorian chant bent through a 20th Century lens. 10 Suicides is a staggeringly personal album that still sounds years ahead of its time."
