Thee Hyphen reissues 1998 album ‘Organique’ with 4 bonus tracks – Out now
Thee Hyphen
The French electro-pop act Thee Hyphen has just released a remastered version of their 1998 album “Organique” via the French label BOREDOMproduct.
This release follows the 2021 remastered CD versions of “Incidental Tools of Confusion” and “Re.Sound”. “Organique” marks the band’s third album to date. The chances of a remastered version ever surfacing seemed slim, as the original vocal tracks were believed to be lost. However, while working on Celluloide’s “Silences We Shared for the Words Once Said” anniversary edition, the long-missing vocal tracks were unexpectedly discovered on an old computer used over two decades ago.
To prepare the remaster, the band employed artificial intelligence to extract the original vocals from the instrumental backing tracks.
Additionally, four bonus tracks have been included in this release. These are re-recordings from 2002 sessions, during which the band initially considered re-recording the entire “Organique” album but ultimately shelved the idea. The style developed during those sessions later influenced their 2004 album “Consolidated Green”.
This is the video for the track “Internal v2.02”.
