Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the reissue of Steve Beresford's highly sought-after album "Dancing the Line", released in France in 1985 on the French label Nato. The album, taking its inspiration from French designer Anne Marie Beretta's fashion, features his Alterations acolyte David Toop plus Alan Hacker and Kazuko Hohki (Frank Chickens) with lyrics by Andrew Brenner. The music mixes sophisticated ambient pop powered by a RX11 drum machine with elements synth funk and experimental music. "Tendance" and "Comfortable Gestures" have become underground classics over the years and this is the first time the album is reissued, in partnership with nato who will release the CD version later this year. The reissue includes audio newly remastered by Translab in Paris, original gatefold artwork and a 4-page insert with liner notes by Nato's Jean Rochard.

Release notes:
From sleeve notes: "When Anne Marie Beretta talks about her designs, it's easy to start making connections with music. She mixes hard and soft textures, for instance, liking paradox. She talks of colour as a sort of visual music" Steve Beresford. Enregistré du 2 au 13 Octobre au Studio nato à Chantenay ainsi qu'au Studio Deshays à Marly. Original Nato recordings courtesy of Nato Remastered by Frédéric Marin at Translab, Paris English translation : Léo Remke-Rochard Special thanks: Steve…
