Black Devil ‎– Disco Club

For a long time I believed all the hype surrounding this lp was just "hype". Last week I found this lp in a shop for an incredible bargain (about $ 5). My opinion changed completely. Similar to "From Here To Eternity" from Giorgio Moroder, but highly dark and deep. All songs on the disc are similar, but each has a touch and a different feelings. My favorites are: "H Friend " and "No Regret. " Despite the difficulty in finding the original editions, is highly recommended.

this is one of the rarest gems ever - in the late 70's, it was far ahead of it's time - and a milestone in history of disco.

while most producers still made the typical 70's disco records full of studio 54-cheesy flavour, those guys created six awesome, full tracks of progression, spaced out vocals and synth-strings - incredible for it's release date, some would say today, but nothing more to say, you must listen to that - as important as kraftwerk and human league - but thousand times rarer ...

"The Disco Club LP" by Black Devil is so amazing that I just had to write a review about it. This is a very obscure release by one of the earliest of the euro disco artists who would later personify an entire genre. Originating from France, this release developed a major cult following all over Europe during the last 25 years and it is now considered to have been a major influence on many of the early 80's italo disco and euro disco artists who emerged on the scene shortly after this release. As for this LP - it's a 2-sided vinyl release with 6 songs all having a copycat sound effect that makes each song sound similar to the others. The only difference is a few tweeks to the synthesizer, the speed of the drum machine's BPM and some different vocals which ultimately allowed the amateur artists behind the Black Devil act to create their one and only LP. The songs were all recorded in real-time and all begin with that dark and wicked drum beat that sounds less like a disco song but more like the procession of a tribal ceremony in the jungles of Africa. Very bizarre, very rare, and very good music. Get it if you can!
