Through the use of analog and digital technologies, V O Y E U R, the Montreal duo consisting of Byron (vague mémoire / Room Control) and Tom Jarvis (pachyderm / Hey Majesty), were able to incorporate the key ingredients of Electro-Spectralism (which was founded by the avant-garde Mexican music school, Los Espejos, in the early 1970’s) with elements of House Music and various television clips from the 1970's to the 1990's. The result is the duo's fifth album, TV HITS 17.
This is a free companion album to TV HITS 17 which includes the single versions of As Seen On TV and Days Of Our World as well as a continuous one-track version of Side 1 of TV HITS 17 (What Is House Music? / As Seen On TV / The Movie Of The Week: "You Remind Me Of Someone That I Know").
