Releases
Super Discount was de Crécy's first release, including the singles "Tout doit disparaître" ("Everything Must Go") and "Prix Choc" ("Shock Price"). Four years after Super Discount, de Crécy released Tempovision. Unlike Super Discount, Tempovision is a mature album. In de Crécy's opinion it was a blues album, differing from some of his earlier and more recent work. The Tempovision track "Am I Wrong" used a sample of Millie Jackson's voice singing "Am I wrong to hunger...", from the song "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right". "Am I Wrong" peaked at No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart in January 2001. The three 3D animated videos to accompany singles from the Tempovision album were directed by Étienne's brother, Geoffroy de Crécy. • Illustration — Étienne de Crécy live at Scopitone, Nantes in 2008 Eight years after the first Super Discount album came Super Discount 2 with the original team, and the addition of Cassius. For this album, he used only old analog instruments, for example a TB-303, and produced twelve electro-house-pop-new wave songs designed for clubs, in the continuity of the first Super Discount. Pursuing the 'discount' concept of the first album, all the tracks are named after peer-to-peer clients: "Overnet", "Limewire", and so on. De Crécy's more recent tracks have focused more on an electronic sound. They had also begun to be released on the Pixadelic label.
