Anarchic System was a French band formed in the early 70's.
The former members were parts of other groups from the rock scene of northern France. They were in good friendship when the opportunity of recording the "Popcorn" cover was given to them by Paul de Senneville (AZ Records) in 1972. They were chosen because of C. Lerouge's incredible ability in using a Minimoog.
The commercial success (700,000 copies sold) gave the band an opportunity to release two other singles ("Carmen Brasilia" and "Royal Summer"), even before they were signed in 1973.
Their songs are mostly attributed to electronic music due to keyboards presence in "Popcorn", "Carmen Brasilia" and "Generation" long version. However the others singles are influenced by rock genres. Their influence were Uriah Heep, Warhorse, Black Sabbath and so on.
Their songs and musics were written by P. De Senneville and O. Toussaint for the firsts singles (including "Generation"), then they change to C. Gordanne, C. Van Loo and I. Wira for the following release, only achieving to impose their own songs on the last released "Goody Lady" in 1977.
