“Liaisons Dangereuses” were a German
band founded in 1981 by Beate Bartel (ex “Mania D”) and Chrislo Haas. This
project is considered an influential pioneering project in modern electronic
music. The band also included singer Krishna Goineau, member of the Spanish
punk band "Xeerox" in the late 1970s. Their first and only album was
born from four 10-minute audio cassettes, recorded in 1981. Conny Plank was
responsible for producing the album in his studio in Cologne (Germany). The
band made several live appearances during the period of activity, during some
of which Anita Lane (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and Hideto Sasaki played
together. The single "Los Ninos del Parque", taken from the album
“Liaisons Dangereuses”, was the band's biggest success in the underground scene
and influenced many Chicago house and Detroit techno DJs. “Los Ninos del
Parque” was one of the best-selling underground singles in Germany and was
subsequently sampled many times thanks to the distinctive bass line created
with the Korg MS-20. The song “Mystère dans le brouillard”, present on the
album and on the B side of the mix disc, was sung in the studio by Krishna
Goineau and his sister Joanna. After the dissolution of the band, Beate Bartel
dedicated herself to the "Matador" project. In the mid-1980s, Krishna
Goineau moved to Belgium and took part as a singer and keyboard player in the
musical projects “Metropakt” and “Velodrome”. Chrislo Haas passed away in
Berlin in October 2004.
