The Brazilian band from São Paulo AGENTSS was set up by Kodiak Bachine, Miguel Barella and Eduardo Amarante in 1980/1981.
The group was a pioneer and actually influential band in Brazil of the New Wave movement that embodied elements of Electronic and Minimalist music. The band made a spacious use of icons and scenarios that aided in the dissemination of the newest ideas and musical concepts in the emerging Electro-pop musical universe of the 80's. AGENTSS was fine-tuned to the international music scene, "synchronized" with bands and artists such as: Kraftwerk, Devo, Talking Heads, Gary Numan, The Residents, Bauhaus, The B-52's, The Cure, Blondie, Television, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp etc.
In a short period of time the group became a cult among the young people in the city of São Paulo, bringing a faithful legion of fans that crammed into the places where the band performed.
Auf der 12" sind die beiden 7" von 1982 und 1983, das einzige, was die Band veröffentlicht hat, zum ersten Mal als Wiederveröffentlichung.
