Yes, I booked them once, and their sax player Claire played with Bowie at Live Aid. SOme of them became the Belle Stars.

And Landscape number 6?

I nkow voleur de corps was the french title for th film Invasion of the Body Snatchers. so guessing their some one-hit wonder. Paysage will go for Big Country.
