Trisomie 21 is a French group created by the Lomprez brothers in the 80s in Denain, near Valenciennes.
Very little information about them except that they will remain as one of the very few French groups with a strong Cold Wave dominance.
They will produce several major titles and just as such, we had to devote these few lines to them.
To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1983...the very beginnings of a small French group which does not look like much as they say and which nevertheless will show that he has everything to do great things...
1983...a surprising sound and style but not without interest, that's clear. It now remains to be seen what they will do with this style and this sound...
1983...in any case they will have shown real potential on this first opus. Now all that remains is to produce THE title that will bring them from the shadows to the light...
1984...we had to wait a short time to see them produce precisely THIS famous title. Here they are now brought into the light...
1984...well it's clear that this is the kind of sound not to be heard by everyone. Sensitive souls refrain as they say...
1984...a dark side that won't help them break through to the highest level, that's for sure. Afterwards, there is still plenty of room for a great career...
1985...one of the rare French groups of the time to sing in English. There, on the other hand, it can definitely help at the international level...
1985...on certain titles we still border on the experimental. A music that will inevitably pass by the general public...
1986 ... of course, the inspiration is dark and seems to come from the depths of who knows where but the talent is there, for sure. A know-how and a unique touch in France at that time !
1987...a truly atypical group that is unlike any other. A strength as much as a weakness that they spend their time balancing as much as possible...
1987 ... an excellent sound which nevertheless marginalizes them given their bias for the Cold Wave. Frankly a shame because the group would have really deserved recognition much higher than she was !
1987...afterwards that will not prevent them from passing the years one after the other without too much difficulty while proving that there is really talent in this group...
1987...what has always saved them is their more than certain level of inspiration. Without this major asset their career would have been very short-lived, that's for sure...
1989...an 80s decade which saw them blossom and then gain momentum in a certain way but without being able to compete with the best...
1989...that will not have stopped them during this decade from showing particularly interesting and frankly original things in any case...
1989 ... which will undoubtedly remain as one of their most emblematic titles. Everything is there, the inspiration, the sound, the style. At the height of their art. MAS-TER-FUL !
1989...a year 1989 which will undoubtedly remain one of their best vintages if not undeniably the best...
1989...a group which will have reached its full maturity at the end of the decade. Everything is mastered, everything is inspired, what more could you ask for more..
1989...it now remains to be seen what they have in store for us for the following decade. Will they completely transform or continue on their path, good question...
1990...1989. For the moment no real new releases but Live versions of titles not officially released but not without interest, that's clear...
1990...1987. So we might as well bring them up to date because they also deserved to be highlighted somewhat. So it's done...
1990...the 90s really starts from this title. There is a semblance of an evolution in terms of sound and rather towards a standardization of it...
1992...afterwards let's all hope that the group doesn't become so normalized that he loses its soul. A little originality doesn't hurt...
1992...an astonishing start to the 90s with a group that no longer really resembles what he was a few years before, it is clear...
1992...will this metamorphosis end up paying more than previously, good question. In any case, only the future knows the answer...
1995...we had to wait 3 years but here comes this absolutely sumptuous instrumental piece which once again shows a totally extraordinary inspiration. MA-GIC !
1997...a title which once again bears no resemblance to what they have previously produced. A constant desire for innovation...
1997...the group will always manage to amaze us in one way or another with truly unique compositions...
1997...a 90s decade which saw them venture down musical paths very different from their predecessors. With more or less success...
2004...they will attempt the transition to the next decade with the firm intention of not giving up as always. Who would blame them...
2004...a group that has been able to resist the wear and tear of time while never really going out of fashion. A true feat...
2004...especially given their initial style it was not at all certain that they would be able to move beyond the 80s. And yet they are still here...
2004... where a good number of groups from their era have already disappeared for a long time, they continue on their merry way quietly but surely...
2009...for how much longer, good question. But in any case they are still there at the very end of the 2000s...
2009...in any case it's not the core fans who are going to complain about it, that's for sure. With each new opus they are inevitably over the moon...
2009...it would have been a shame if they didn't continue the adventure a little more because they continue to deliver titles of significant quality...
2017...with each title we say to ourselves that it may be the last and each time they come back. Of course it took them 8 years this time but it's done in any case...
2017...a desire to believe in it until the end which undoubtedly commands respect. As long as they enjoy what they do, they will continue at all costs...
2017...we must also remember that they started their career in 1983, which is still quite a few years old !
2017...so last title or not ? Knowing them, it could well be that we see them again later, to the delight of their core fans...
