Black Devil - Disco Club

ok, so i was sitting in my studio thinking about what i
should blog about first and then it hit me:

Black Devil
i heard about these guys a few months back and was told
that their album Disco Club was released in 1978 and that they were
way ahead of their time. ahead of their time doesnt even begin
to define these guys.

here's some info straight from their current (fan run) myspace:

An on-off collaboration between French producers Bernard Fevre and Jackie Giordano -- who credited themselves, respectively, as Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge -- Black Devil released a six-track album of spooky electro-disco entitled Disco Club. Originally released on Italy's Out label in 1978, it became slightly infamous in the disco underground despite its scarcity. A copy eventually fell into the hands of the Rephlex label's PP Roy and soon won the hearts of Richard James and Luke Vibert. Rather than do a straight reissue, Rephlex opted to first release a 12" including four tracks from the original vinyl; after that, they annoyingly trickled out the two other tracks, along with a couple outtakes and a remix from Luke Vibert (under his Kerrier District guise), via 12" and CD single releases that featured different track lists."

 like it says, these killer disco tracks are packed with leery echoing vocals
and outstanding synthesizer leads and really catchy shuffle style drums.

one thing i really enjoyed about these tracks is the crackling from the
original vinyl recordings.
