Here's a tantalising prospect:
a compilation of obscure European library
music dating from 1975 to 1984.
Delivering on the promise of its title,
this album is crammed with peculiar,
predominantly electronic grooves all riffing
on a spacey, sci-fi theme.
You'll encounter probing oscillations,
stripped-down drum machine emissions and all
out vintage disco goodness - there even
appears to be a track included from Black
Devil Disco Club's Bernard Fevre:
'Dali' clocks in at just under a minute and
a half, sounding like a cross between Sven
Libaek's film music and some lost proto Italo
classic.
It's virtually impossible to not be won over
by this collection, and while it might be
accused of pandering to kitsch tastes,
compositionally this stuff really impresses.
Not only does it tend to be sonically interesting
in its post-Radiophonic bleeps and blips, but
thanks to the clever selections of its French
curators Alexis Le-Tan and Jess, there's a
lighthearted dancefloor compatibility running
throughout the entire album. Ace.
