about

Claude Pailliot, Emeric Aelters, Gaëtan Collet, and Vincent Thierion were Tone Rec before they became Dat Politics, based in Lille, France. As Tone Rec, between 1997 and 1999, they produced 3 full-length albums for Sub Rosa + one extented remix project in 2000. Pholcus was their second opus and for many their masterpiece.

Last deconstruction form - despite this unconventional nature, much of the band's music is basically a form of heavily deconstructed techno, hardly inaccessible in its basic format but highly innovative all the same.

this takes post-rock noise-as-rhythm to new extremes''
the Wire

''an inspirational collision of post-rock and heady electronics''
Alternative Press

''rare is music that's so beautiful it's disorienting''
Urb

''Tone Rec takes the randomly defective inside-out bell electronics of Oval and organises them into strangely dirty funk structures that sound like cyber-contorted mirror images of Massive Attack's heartfelt soundscapes''
