Moderne was a French Minimal/Synthpop band. In 1980 they released their first self titled LP "Moderne". From that album they released the 7" single "Indicatif // Vers L'est". In 1981 they released the album "L'espionne aimait la musique" from which the 7" single "Switch on Bach" was pulled. After 1981 nothing was heard from Moderne and except for "Switch on Bach" (released on the compilation "So Young But So Cold" in 2004) very little has been heard from this band.
