"In late 2014, Véronique Vincent (the singer of Les Tueurs de la lune de miel/The Honeymoon Killers) and Aksak Maboul (Marc Hollander's project) completed Ex-Futur Album, a groundbreaking French electronic pop album, which had been written and recorded in the early 80s. The album was enthusiastically received by the media. Also, seduced by this pioneering avant-pop opus, artists from seven countries delivered 16 reinterpretations of the songs featured on it. The resulting album is entitled 16 Visions of Ex-Futur and contains 16 reinterpretations (covers and remixes), notably by Jaakko Eino Kalevi (the young Finn from Domino), Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague), Laetitia Sadier (the inimitable voice of Stereolab), Flavien Berger (the rising star of French electropop), Hello Skinny (Londoner Tom Skinner, collaborator of Grime, Matthew Herbert and Mulatu Astatke), Burnt Friedman (the eminent German electronic artist) Not to mention the 2016 version of Aksak Maboul, in two self-covers recorded with members of Kasai Allstars and Aquaserge as surprise guests.A miracle of eccentric, quirky and subversive electro-pop (Les Inrocks)Exactly in tune with the times (France Inter) Brilliant, bouncy, surprisingly modern (Libération)"
