Quickly Dat Politics gained a name for themselves. With three people of Tone Rec plus one more member they have a split 12”on Fat Cat, a LP for their own
label skipp and this CD for A-musik.
The 12”and LP were nice already, but this CD blows my mind! Dat Politics are announced as a computer group, or laptop quartet, so I expected heavy improv doodlings like Rehberg & Bauer or the rest of the Mego posse, but how delighted I am to find something different.

VITAL( february 2000)
Formed in October 1998, Dat Politics are a 4-piece laptop unit (Emeric Aelters, Claude Pailliot, Gaetan Collet, Vincent Thierion) based in the city of Lille in northern France. In one year they released a split 12'' on Fat Cat, villager album on A-musik, and their new Tracto Flirt Album on their own label Skipp, which they set up recently.
