CURIOUS MUSIC FOR CURIOUS PEOPLE
70s library music. A kind of musical wormhole, wherein experimental music could be made, issued in quantities of 200 and still get played 30 years later. No wonder it¹s popular with Aphex Twin, David Holmes, Beck, Andy Votel, Add N to (X), The Beta Band, Andy Weatherall, Coldcut and of course Luke Vibert , who's compiled what is surely the most far out, quality collection of Library Music ever released. Painstakingly selected and restored from the libraries of Chappell, i M, PIL and Southern ,this is not your usual kitsch nonsense. This is a collection of super rare, deep fried warp funk, tripped out electronic noodles, primitive techno and surreal pop ­ a little like Luke¹s recent Wagon Christ album 'Musipal', which has been racking up rave reviews by the score. Much of the music on this album was created at Ganaro studios in Versailles, France by three men: Roger Roger, Nino Nardini and Eddie Warner ( aka Cecil Leuter , Peter Bonello and Georges Teperino ). Like an earlier incarnation of the Detroit holy techno trinity of Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins, they created a new kind of electronic funk. Working through the night in an amazing underground studio utilising home made synths, distorted harpsichords, drums through moogs, spaced out percussion and funked up bass they made music so ahead of its time that it still sounds fresh. For proof check out the Squarepusher bass vibe of 'The Bungler', the sci-fi lounge of Heinz Funk, the Sun Ra outness of 'Electronic track 15' or the bizarre folk concréte of The Johanna Group . Marvel at how the music of yesteryear sounds like the music of tomorrow.
