| |
| The galaxy of electronic music has always been littered with |
| objects of varying interest, from retro compilations to |
| unlikely syntheses that are either over-commercialised or |
| over-specialised. But this is no real surprise for a world |
| whose essential dimensions have always been based on a theory |
| of recover and repeat (yes, good old sample and loop). |
| |
| And to these congested skies, Tripsichord distribution adds two |
| rather intriguing UFOs at almost exactly the same time. The |
| first is a Quatermass offering, an original Belgian label |
| willing to rummage for its findings, and which sets itself |
| apart once again through its interest in the very beginnings of |
| the Paris electro scene with a compilation claiming to be |
| "pre-French touch" and which cocks a cheeky snook with its |
| title "Rocker's Delight: The Rock Sound Of Darkest Paris". |
| |
| The second UFO is much smoother, almost shiny, entitled |
| "Digital Disco" and edited by Force Inc. It runs over the best |
| moments of house crossed with pop. But do these two projects |
| have enough oomph to make their mark amongst the myriad of |
| flying objects shot into a far-off orbit and long-since |
| forgotten? |
| |
| At first sight, "Rocker's Delight" looks to be fighting a |
| losing battle; the timing just seems wrong for digging up the |
| roots of the French touch when no-one today even appears to |
| know the meaning of that concept. The French scene is scattered |
| between label-shy groups such as Telepopmusik and Rin⌠cer⌠se, |
| and Gooom school electronica styles such as Gel, Mils, M83, |
| etc. And now that the ground has been cleared by German and |
| British sound engineers, we could fear that this compilation, |
| whose oldest track dates from 1990, will seem positively |
| ancient. |
| |
| On board the much more contemporary Digital Disco we are |
| welcomed by sequin-suited pilots from all four corners of the |
| dance floor: Metro Area from New York, Swayzak from the UK, |
| Mathias SchaffhΣuser from Germany and more. But even with this |
| initial boost, this compilation finds it difficult to get off |
| the ground. Waiting patiently for the melody, the structure, |
| the rebellious feel, the pop pearl to take us to the top, we |
| realise there's nothing coming. Amongst this medley of |
| vocoderized tones and repetitive beats, in this |
| over-enthusiastic and even sometimes we feel 'put-on' |
| production, the evident and unstoppable solemnity of Metro |
| Area, the quirky effects of Data 80, the eighties flashbacks of |
| Astrobal, the sombre minimalism of Swayzak and the catchy and |
| intelligent designs of Care manage to keep their heads above |
| water, but remain a bit of a damp squid. This virtually |
| straight path is an easy one to walk down, but doesn't require |
| much determination. |
| |
| On the contrary, the "Rocker's Delight" vessel forces us to |
| prick up our ears after only a few tracks along its improbable |
| flight path. It zigzags so far from our formatted asteroids |
| with utter disregard for any collisions it might take with it |
| in its wake. No future, dadaist punk Costes seems to be |
| shouting in a disturbing yet staggering track "Trop tard". Sex |
| and no future correct the compΦres Mirwais, Christophe Monier |
| (Nature) and Patrick Vidal (Sutra) in "Victime" - and I quote |
| "Baise-moi car je devrais Ωtre dΘjα mort" -and in the |
| well-named Discotique techno rock fireship "Sexe dur". This |
| formation, born from the equation of Vidal + Monier imbues |
| avant-garde minimalism with an original big beat sound ("Amour, |
| amor, love", you'd never think was written in 1991). Vidal |
| plucks an unexpected dub string ("Salinas") and Arielle slowly |
| winds down the trip introducing troubling tension ("Tombes"). |
| And this entire, innovative and daring, extraordinarily varied |
| musical universe free of all taboos, concentrates from start to |
| finish on a few years and just one place: Paris. |
| |
| In brief, the 130 BPM world tour offered by Digital Disco is |
| relaxing, but you'd be better to opt for a visit to the |
| tortuous catacombs of Paris where you'll find a truly black |
| hole, Rocker's Delight, that will swallow you whole. |

| Christophe Monier Presents |
| ROCKER'S DELIGHT |
| The Rock Sound Of Darkest Paris |
| (1990-1996) |
| |
| Do you really think there was nothing before the "French |
| touch"? |
| France has always been packed with musicians who opened up new |
| ways. Some bands have actually developed a cult following, |
| whether it is Marie et les garτons for whom Patrick Vidal was |
| playing, or Taxi Girl composed of Mirwais Ahmadza∩ | both Afrika Bambaataa and Speedy J. With singles "Baby Wants To |
| Rock", "The Jag", powerful remixes (OMD, Underworld, The |
| Chemical Brothers), and the album "Bleep To Bleep", The |
| Micronauts stands out by playing a beefed-up electro-'pop'. |
| |
| - MATTHIEU BALLET ex-Ach So, Oui Oui (at the time of their 2nd |
| album "Formidable"), M. Chance, Mukta, now a renowned producer |
| especially for his work with Arielle (on albums: "Toute une vie |
| α une" and "Mortelle"), Thomas Fersen (latest album "Quatre") |
| and Miossec (latest album "Br√le"). |
| |
| - TOM BOUTHIER, along with his brother, has extensively toured |
| as a DJ throughout England under the name Tom & Jerry Bouthier; |
| they both formed Riviera Splash (on Stress) and The Eurostars |
| with Christophe Monier. |
| |
| - COSTES all the information is at http://www.costes.org/. |
| Enter, if you dare, the world of this destroy and |
| 'happenist-dadaist' singer. |
| |
| Also note the remix of the MICRONAUTS' "Get Funky Get Down", |
| provided with a master's hand by DAFT PUNK. |
| |
| "Rocker's Delight - The Rock Sound Of Darkest Paris" is the |
| result of a crossing of the swords between electronica and |
| rock, funk, old school hip hop, house, etc. Far from being a |
| patchwork of dissonant tunes, this album gives a glimpse of a |
| more sombre Paris, more decadent, and in an unconventional need |
| for grooves. |
| |
| Rocker's Delight is a reference to the Sugarhill Gang and their |
| hit "Rapper's Delight", the first rap music hit. |
| |
| The Rock Sound Of Darkest Paris is a reference to Joey Negro's |
| compilation on Republic, tracing back the history of garage |
| (The Garage Sound Of Deepest New York). |
| |
| |
| 1990-1996 |
| before the French touch, a darker and harder sound ruled over |
| underground Paris |
