15 years ago in 1998, Dead Man Ray released their legendary debut album Berchem. 15 years later, Copy of 98 brings together 14 Belgian bands for a unique tribute record.
Berchem is the unlikely result of a fortuitous meeting of minds between ex-dEUS guitarist Rudy Trouvé and graphic designer Daan Stuyven. The former an avant-garde musician with a thing for obscure art, the latter an ambitious electro-pop artist. Dead Man Ray produced a unique sound with wild guitars, tape manipulation, skillful pop melodies and the occasional alarm clock thrown in for good measure.
