Released in 1979, "The Fin Du Monde" is the debut album by Soundforce, a band led by French singer-songwriter Gaya Becaud. Centered around synthesizers, their sound boldly traverses rock, funk, and disco, making it remarkably aggressive and experimental even within the 70s French scene. "Viva La Dolce Vita," with its bouncing rhythm and explosive synthesizers, is a hidden gem of synth disco/boogie. The collage-like sensibility and eccentricity, reminiscent of Jean-Pierre Massiera, appear throughout, and tracks like the mad disco "The Fin Du Monde" and funk songs with provocative lyrics maintain a precarious tension even today. This album stands out among obscure French synth works for its distinctive individuality.
