Releases
Super Discount was Étienne de Crécy's first release, including the well known singles "Tout doit disparaître" (Everything must go) and "Prix Choc" (Shock Price). Super Discount is considered by many as the first album of what is called the French house|French touch . Super Discount received very favourable reviews and sold over 200,000 copies.Citation needed|date=December 2009 Six years after Super Discount , Étienne de Crécy released Tempovision . Unlike Super Discount , which was perfectly adapted for the radio, Tempovision is a mature album, a deep reflection on the electronic music of this time. In Étienne de Crécy's opinion it was a blues album, differing from some of his earlier and more recent work.Citation needed|date=December 2009 Eight years after the first Super Discount album, came Super Discount 2 with the original team, and the addition of Cassius (band)|Cassius . For this album, he used only old analog instruments, for example a TB303 , 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 File sharing|peer-to-peer clients : "Overnet", "Napster", and so on. Étienne de Crécy, talking about the concept for the third album, said: “you have to be autistic in working in the music industry not to realize that something happens through the MP3 exchanges. It’s not discount anymore& #33; It’s free!” and added “what the music industry doesn’t understand, is that young people will not build their own music culture if they don’t have free access to the music.” Citation needed|date=December 2009 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 #44 in the UK Singles Chart in January 2001.cite book | first= David | last= Roberts | year= 2006 | title= British Hit Singles & Albums | edition= 19th | publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London | isbn= 1-904994-10-5 | page= 144
