Little known of a public who still think that the most interesting bands that have emerged in France in the 80 are named and Phone Trust, Kas product remains the pride of those who, surprised, was confident that we could never rhyme with rock talent in our beautiful country. Group Kas product is not much, rather a duet (even a couple of lovers but that's another story) composed of the feline Mona Soyoc born in Argentina, on guitar and vocals, and rangy Spatsz , keyboardist the bit rebellious and former psychiatric nurse.

| Try Out (1982) |
Both from our dear French province, as of other no less famous ( Marquis de Sade , Dogs, Little Bob Story ), they united their efforts from 1980 to concoct a music never previously heard in the hexagon, a kind of explosive chemical formula composed one third of punk aggression, a third of glaciation coldwave, and a third bold-rhythmic free jazz electronico. This explosive mixture was tested with particular success in the first part of the group Marquis de Sade . The innovative approach bearing fruit, our two Nancy had the opportunity to get out the excellent Try out in February 1982, well helped by a mouth to ear monstrous addition to some papers of complimentary two or three rock critics not quite incompetent (It exists ... looking good). This first album, consisting of eleven tracks innovative energy devastating, was available and distributed simultaneously in France, England, Germany and Japan.

| Bypass (1983) |
The positive reviews, a small successful international tour, and good sales figures paved the way a second album in 1983, the exciting Bypass equally important as the first but more sophisticated, with better production and sound at unprecedented scale, marked by outstanding shares (the unforgettable Loony-bin , Tina town and Devill Fellow ). Probably the pinnacle of their discography. But for their third album Ego eye in 1986 (recorded and ready for two years but not released until now because waiting for a new label over confidential) The duo scored the pitch, apparently in an uncertain to changes necessary for their music. Sales fell and the couple, disoriented, began a pause that will lead to the separation in 1988.

| Ego Eye (1986) |
For 20 years we hear about it pretty regularly hypothetical reunion Kas product for a new album which unfortunately never comes. Especially since you can not help thinking the profession of faith proclaimed by the beautiful Mona Soyoc in the fifth song of the album: "Never come back ! Yet the duo came back against all odds in July 2005 for play his old songs on stage , invited by the organizers of Eurockéennes. The audience gave him a triumphal reception and saw the singer and keyboardist had been strangely not the contempt of years, performing their music as in the heyday of their debut, with more maturity. Alchemy is found during this festival, we might therefore understand Kas product was going out in stride after Ego eye ... In January 2011 it is still not done. But Hope springs eternal.
To soothe a little one can always settle for posthumous album Black and Black which offers some essential rarities published Originally single, and four unpublished ( Crash , Mezzo , Electric and Party). Finally, note that an excellent book on the duo was released by Editions du white truck, written by Peter Gillieth / Bertrand Larmagelle : So Young So Cold goal. Kas product is definitively entered history.
