What A Great Album!

Back To Somewhere
STEREO
In June 2009, Piers Martin from Uncut Magazine reviewed a compilation of STEREO.
Most of these acts could learn a thing or two from STEREO, a French synth-wave duo actually from the early eighties, whose brief but brilliant career is compiled on 'Somewhere In The Night' on Minimal Waves Records.
Amid a good deal of fizzing disco and queer white funk, the title track - a simmering sci-fi love song - remains STEREO's masterpiece.
The new album 'Back To Somewhere' is as good as the first one especially the songs "Waiting in vain", "Spirits" and "New day dawning".
Great work!!!

Surely one of the best French bands of the 80's. And who deserved a recognition superior to what it was ! http://www.topmusique80.com/2014/10/un-son-tres-pur.html

If you like the early eighties sound, this album is the clear example that you can make fresh and cool sound with the 80's magic and style. I think Stereo have managed to captivate a fan of the 80's in the same way as a young person who did not live in that era. This album conserves a special mystery that only Stereo can transmit. Gems like the reissue of "Somewhere in the Night" or "Waiting In Vain" and "New Day Dawning" are beautiful masterpieces. It's a brilliant new record thats moved and transported me to the best of the 80's. A captivating, mysterious and fresh release!
