"
Palo Alto
is a French group formed in Paris, France in 1989 by
Jacques Barbéri
,
Denis Frajerman
,
Philippe Masson
, and
Philippe Perreaudin
. In their early interviews the group insisted on their musical filiation with
Tuxedomoon
, and on drawing their inspiration from Made to Measure, a Crammed Discs label. They would later make explicit their interest in bands such as
Art Zoyd
,
The Legendary Pink Dots
,
Coil
,
The Residents
,
Can
, or
Cabaret Voltaire
. Science fiction in all its forms is a leitmotiv in the group's work. In 1990 Palo Alto released their cassette tape,
Le clos
, on the Italian label Old Europa Café. At the time their music was definitely written rather than improvised, consisting mainly of instrumentals with a stress on melody. Two years later,
Extrême Ponction
was released as a cassette on the T.T.I.C.C. Contingent label in France. This double CD collects those two tapes with the addition of
Excroissance
, another cassette release from 1993, this time as a cassette single. The whole material has been remastered by Norscq in 2024."
