The French-Belgian band, Antena, drew modest attention in Europe in the early 1980s, with its mixture of minimal pop and electronica and Bossa Nova. The band however managed to make its indelible mark between Stererolab and The Slumber Party, and you can hear their influence in later groups such as Cibo Matto and LCD Soundsystem.
