In late 1977 Aksak Maboul started performing live, during which time Wuyts replaced Joris and Moulin. In early 1979, Hollander invited Chris Cutler and Fred Frith of the recently defunct avant-garde rock group Henry Cow to join Aksak Maboul on their next record. They rehearsed together, performed in a few concerts and then went to Sunrise Studio, Kirchberg in Switzerland to recorded Un Peu de L'Ame des Bandits.
Un Peu de L'Ame des Bandits is more intense and experimental than their first album. It contains complex written sections as well as improvised ambient pieces. It uses sampling before samplers were invented and is a mixture of tangos, Turkish tunes, chamber rock, noisy punk rock and pseudo-Varèse music. Like the first album, it is instrumental with a little singing and voices.
