"When we listen to TLS's works on LEEP ["P color" (w lezet), "Mass creation machine" (feat k-the-i???), "Acidoulus pink and girls from Uranus", "Phonographie" (w Marc Rira)] we were fascinated with the incredible approach to rythm and how easily avant-garde approaches were mixed with pop and rock, hip-hop and everything else that someone might think that is almost impossible to mix. "My favourite color" summerizes all these in 10 tracks that run almost for 30 minutes ranging from abstraction to rock and from new wave to musique concrete. a taboo-less classic."
