In spite of their French name, Liaisons Dangereuses were a German ensemble from Kraftwerk’s home town, Dusseldorf. And, like DAF, who were also from the same city, they crossed over in the 1980s with a piece of dark synth disco which couldn’t be more angular or teutonic. I remember dancing to these tunes in Merseyside’s finest early to mid eighties watering holes. Places like The Chelsea Reach in New Brighton, and the Pyramid Club and State in Liverpool. Tracks like this brought the romance of the cold war closer, minus the threat of nuclear weapons. As far as I know ow this was the band’s only single. Good to begin and end on a high.
