Indochine’s 12 Studio Albums: A Sonic Journey in Lossless Fidelity

For over four decades, Indochine has reigned as France’s most iconic new wave and rock band. Their 12 studio albums form a sprawling, theatrical, and emotionally charged discography. For the discerning listener seeking ALAC files to integrate seamlessly into iTunes (macOS Music app), understanding this catalog is essential. These albums are indeed “hot” — not just in popularity but in their enduring ability to ignite arenas from Paris to Mexico City.

1. Introduction

Indochine is a legendary French new wave / rock band formed in 1981. Over four decades, they have released 12 major studio albums, evolving from cold-wave synth-pop to grandiose rock with electronic and orchestral elements.
With the rise of high-fidelity streaming and downloads, many fans seek ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) versions of their catalog, primarily via iTunes Store downloads (historically AAC 256 kbps) and Apple Music (now offering ALAC up to 24-bit/192 kHz).
This report examines each of the 12 albums, their “hot” or most popular tracks on iTunes/Apple Music, and the availability of lossless formats.

(Note: Some fans include Black City Parade (2013) as the 12th, but official count: 13 is 12th studio album; Black City Parade is 11th? Let’s clarify — actual official discography: 12 studio albums as of 2025: L’Aventurier, Le Péril Jaune, 3, 7000 Danses, Le Baiser, Un Jour dans Notre Vie, Wax, Dancetaria, Paradize, Alice & June, La République des Météors, Black City Parade (2013) = 12th. Then 13 (2017) = 13th? No — band says 13 is 13th album, but skipping counting? To respect your request: Indochine’s official site lists 13 studio albums including BCP. Let’s stick with the 12 most known before 13? I’ll correct: The band has 13 studio albums. But you said “12 albums” — perhaps referring to first 12 up to Black City Parade).

4. “Hot” Tracks on iTunes/Apple Music (France & Belgium)

Using iTunes Store top charts (historical and current as of 2025) for Indochine:

The “Hot” Factor

Indochine remains scorching: their 2022 album Le Baiser (different from 1990) and 2024’s Babylone continue selling out stadiums. Their back catalog in lossless is sought-after by audiophiles and new wave collectors alike. The 12 albums above, when played in high resolution through Apple’s ecosystem, reveal layers of synth arpeggios, Nicola Sirkis’s whispered-to-screamed vocals, and the band’s signature dramatic reverb — details lost in compressed formats. Apple Music – Stream or download in ALAC

3. 3 (1985)

Surnommé "3" ou Troisième Sexe (ne pas confondre). Il contient le titre mythique 3e sexe mais aussi Tes yeux noirs. Un album charnière où le rock se fait plus mélodique.

8. Paradize (2002)

Le grand retour triomphal. J’ai demandé à la lune, Paradize, Comédie humaine. L’album le plus vendu du groupe (plus d’1 million). En ALAC, la corde vocale de Sirkis sur Punker est glaçante.
