Cerrone 'Supernature' vs Houllebecq 'Atomised'

http://www.malligator.com/news1.html

tell me some tracks similar to supernature, please. thanks.

daft punk - verdis quo

i do have serious answers, just can't think of any right now!

You can start with everything Cerrone touched back then, Konga's Africanism, Don Ray's excellent Garden of Love album, Max Berlin...they have similar qualities even if they're not all epic euro-disco epics.

There's the entirety of Moroder's From Here to Eternity, the Black Devil Disco Club album, Quartz, Revelacion's House of the Rising Sun. Kebecelectric. Martin Circus-Disco Circus.

Be more specific about what aspects of Supernature you like and I can give more specific answers. There's more lenghty proggy epic disco and there's plenty of electronic space disco/italo-disco.

The specific aspect about Supernature that I like is the spacey feel to it. It feels like I'm in a journey through space whenever I hear it. Maybe it's because of the trancey synthline in the background (not the main one) and the chilling vocal too. Other tracks that have the same effects to me are "Spacer", "Spacerwoman", and Mito's "Droid". Maybe what I'm looking for is actually space disco?

definitely check "war dance" by kebekelektrik

and yeah, everything dan says

Tantra. they have a few side long spaced out jamzzzzz

xxpost. heh. just made a mix today w/"war dance"

some obvious suggestions:

kano - another life
la bionda - wanna be your lover
doctor's cat - feel the drive
easy going - fear
mr flagio - take a chance
dharma - plastic doll

there's no point limiting by genre "name" when they mostly don't mean anything. Space Disco used to mean any disco that was electronic or themed "spacey" but lately it's taken to mean a whole lot of nu-disco stuff, which certainly has those influences, but many others. Lindstrom's I Feel Space and Isolee's My Hi-matic where two records from this century that are basically techno but totally space disco.

I think there's plenty of euro-disco and italo-disco that suits your desire, and there's an entire subculture devoted to it. You could do worse then starting here:

and of course checking out I-F's Mixed Up at the Hague mix which helped kick-start the italo-revival and would point you to other spacey tracks like World Invasion by Pluton and the Humanoids and Mr. Flagio's Take a Chance.

I could list about 1,000 italo disco songs but you may as well just hit youtube and type "italo", just look for anything from 1982 or so.

There's always the french band Space.

But this also reminds me of when I was in High School and got a bootleg import copy of an undubbed Akira and got really excited about japanese animated movies and kept trying to find others that were as good. At that time, there really weren't any. Supernature is a pretty perfect song and it's hard to match. If Moroder's From Here to Eternity isn't too obvious a choice, it pretty much wrote the book on this stuff.

I think one variation you'll find is that a lot of the euro-disco stuff is late 70s and still involves lots of real instruments. Italo disco from that period is just as big and produced but wasn't necessarily as spacey, but by the early 80s you get the more electro/new wave italo sound that's more drum machined out.

Yeah, Tantra's a good suggestion.

there's cheesy space disco like this:

those Cybernetic Broadcasting System Top 100s are good for this sort of thing, but lean way more on the italo/electro stuff... but there's that annoying DJ..

That's I-F!

xxpost. hah. the same mix has a cover of "why don't you answer" by Sample and Hold.

you could spend a few grand to find really rare stuff here http://cosmicdudes.com/

qe ii, are you in my house?

xpost: Incidentally I discovered Dharma's "Plastic Doll" this morning and it blew me away I immediately wrote a blog post about it.

xp lol i guess we just have good taste

JFC @ that cosmic dudes store

i think if they ever make a movie about patrick cowley, they should use josh jackson to play him

harry thumann - "underwater" vs catherine breillat's "anatomy of hell"

what's the best cerrone album? or should i just pick the compilation instead?

supernature a.k.a. cerrone 3

at least, it certainly has the best cover

I love Supernature. The ironic thing is that I discovered this song somewhat circuitously by virtue of the fact that it was co-written by Lene Lovich.

I discovered it through Erasure's cover of it back in 1989.

(Also when I discovered Gina X Performance's "No G.D.M." via the same route.)

Thirding Tantra. "A Place Called Tarot" is one of the best things ever.

Here's that Tantra song using a mix of video footage from Boorman's Exorcist 2. Ha.
