WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Brand new Itali-disco! Black Devil Disco Club and Sally Shapiro

Posted over 2 years ago
First Black Devil Disco Club _28 After_ and now this Sally Shapiro thing. The disco renaissance is fully upon us and if you want any part of it, you must pick up both of these records. Both are shrouded in mystery and spin, maybe spinstery. And eMusic broke them both to me (eMusic, your feature programmers are fantastic).Black Devil Disco Club (eMusic feature) (iTunes Link)Very dark and spooky--this is supposedly the follow-up to a cult hit record (that may or may not have existed) from 28 years ago by the same group which may be one or more Italian guys, people from Richard D. James' record label, or possibly time-warp disco space aliens from planet Z. The link above has a good run-down of the mystery. I've been listening to this album hard for the past month. It's ridiculous. If anybody has any leads on how to actually get a copy of the supposed original Black Devil Disco Club (or Black Devil, _Disco Club_, depending on how you look at it), I'm very interested to know.Sally Shapiro (eMusic page with review) (iTunes Link)Now, this I just came across this week. Supposedly a project of Swedish producer Johan Agebjörn, and a Swedish/English/invisible boogey girl singer. It sounds like if you put supercool Norwegian pop singer Annie in the same studio as a very sedated Joy Electric and put a very strict taskmaster above them so nobody could get wild. The restraint is incredible. Highly recommended.I'll put this post at 82times.com, too.

  2. doubtingmatthew says I ended up clicking on the "listeners also bought" link for Kavinsky, who I had never heard of until today. I haven't listened to the full songs yet, but I bought both EPs because the clips sounded interesting [iTunes link].
