Plastic Bertrand – “Tout Petit La Planete”

Belgium’s Plastic Bertrand is probably best known for this song, which you’ve most likely heard, but never knew who it was. While I love that song, “Tout Petit la Planete” (released in 1978) is the one that really stands out to me. Sort of Italo-disco-y, with touches of the vocoder. Not all of his recordings were great, but when he was on, he was on.

As far as I’m concerned, this is a novelty record, but it was also a minor Italo Disco hit back in 1983. Essentially, it’s a

I have to admit, I’m not too into much of Belgian multi-instrumentalist Gotye‘s work aside from this track. Most of his music is a bit
