Système D is the fourth studio album by French pop rock group Les Rita Mitsouko. It was released in 1993 and reached number seven on the French Albums Chart.[1] Système D includes the singles "Y’A D’La Haine", "Les Amants", and "Femme d’Affaires".
The album was recorded and produced by Fred Chichin and Catherine Ringer largely at a large Moroccan house situated in Essaouira (Formerly Mogador), where the group set up their studio. Initially the group had intended to produce the album with veteran producer Tony Visconti, having previously worked together on the group's previous two albums. Ringer and Chichin chose to produce the album themselves to find a new sound. The album was completed in the Parisian studios of Studio 6, Studio Davout, and Studio Mega. The album was mixed by American mixer Carmen Rizzo in Studio Davout.[2]
Receiving good reviews the album was originally released as a double-LP, Cassette and CD in November 1993. The artwork was designed and photographed by Achay, Catherine Ringer and Sednaoui.
