Words and music by Un Drame Musical Instantané (Birgé–Vitet–Gorgé)
Recorded in 1981-82
À Travail Égal Salaire Égal is Un Drame Musical Instantané's third album, originally released in 1982 on the group's own GRRR label. You will hear their wild mix of styles, a very original, unclassifiable, inventive music, which drifts from jazz to electronic music and contemporary music. Remastered in 2017 with unissued bonus track for Austrian label Klang Galerie.
