Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the vinyl reissue of Ramuntcho Matta's rare first self-titled album from 1985, mixing funk, no wave and ambient soundscapes.

The album released on tiny French label Mosquito was conceived as the soundtrack for French choreographer Regine Chopinot's play "VIA" with costumes by fashion rising star Jean- Paul Gaultier. It was recorded at a buoyant time in Paris when Matta - who had just spent a few years in New York following the death of his brother Gordon Matta-Clark - immersed himself in Paris' underground scene.

Consisting of 19 tracks alternating between funk and ambient soundscapes, the album has been remastered for vinyl from Ramuntcho's masters and features a 4-page booklet with liner notes by Jacques Denis in conversation with Ramuntcho and a 2- page insert featuring the original poster for the VIA show by famed illustrator Marc Caro (Delicatessen).
