The thing about Bear Funk these days (in the past too, but somehow more than
ever now) is their uncompromising search for and subsequent releasing of new and
innovative Space Disco, it's why we love em so much and just lately there have
been some sensational future classics put onto wax by the Bears (only recently I
mentioned the Max Essa & Steve Kotey release, which i dare say includes two of
my favorite trax of the year so far)...
Bottins 4 track 'Horror Disco' album sampler for Bear Funk is a superb slice of
Italian (or Italo even) originality born out of an obsession for cosmic
Soundtrack's and from the experience gained from working for such diverse
institutions as Richard Dorfmeister, Centro Internazionale d'Arte e Cultura
Palazzo Te di Mantova, Bangorfilms & many other intriguing individuals. But you
know William Bottin's work already; this years 'No Static' release on Italians
Do It Better is seminal, his 'Fondamente Nove' on Eskimo's 'Cosmic Balearic
Beats Volume 1' from last year was also a standout track. I've yet to hear the
Italo Disco soundtrack for 'The Boy With The Sun In His Eyes' which he composed,
but i've heard only good things about it.
The 'Horror Disco' sampler on Bear Funk isn't disturbing at all; 'Disco For The
Devil', a fantastic Morroderesque thriller, does have absurd and amusing 'horror
Pop' lyrics. For the most part this EP is all about European panache (read as
'eccentric kitsch'), retro technology, cosmology, abstract creepyness and in the
case of 'Bianca', leggy power babes in Porsche 928 s' taking in the Italian
coastline while listening to Dave Grusin... or something along those lines...
looking forward to the album.
