German EBM (Electronic Body Music) pioneers, Liaisons Dangereuses are goin' for it full throttle on this track. This particular live version was filmed in Manchester in 1982. Acid synthlines abound, making this track a landmark Chicago/Detroit precursor. iSpy my favorite synth duo the Korg MS-20 and MS-50.
(Live Manchester 07.07.1982) (VHS Record) The little kids in the park are really lucky They go walking Holding hands Dreaming about candy which doesnt cost any money But.. Who dares to say they are innocents?
Synth goddess and band co-founder Beate Bartel was also one of the original members of the avant-garde band Einstürzende Neubauten. This next live version was filmed at a music festival in Düsseldorf. Check out pink hair at 1:21!!

For comparison purposes, I've also included a still frame video for the 12" version.

Check out Google's mini-moog emulator in honor of what would have been Robert Moog's 78th birthday! Adjustable filters, modulation control, four-track recording. How awesome!

Then the French said, "Let there be dark disco." And it was really, really good.
Bernard Fevre * Dali unoffical
Right?! 1975. Whoa.
As a music genealogist, moments where new musical (sub)genres are born are pretty much the stuff of dreams.
Within this span of 84 seconds, from an offbeat library (ie music snippets) album "The Strange World of Bernard Fevre," foundations are laid for the deepest, darkest, most esoteric disco album ever made, Black Devil's"Disco Club" in 1978.
Released originally in 1978 on OUT. Recorded in France with a drummer and some tape-loops. No computers or stuff like that. Way ahead of it's time before House could be heard in DIsco and pre-dates early Cybotron etc etc. Totally amazing stuff.

Some amazing music from Bernard Fevre's disco moniker.
Artist: Black Devil Album: Disco Club (1978) Song: We never fly away again Notes: Really Sick electro-european-disco music from the late 70's pretty cutting-edge for its era, way ahead from its time. Rereleased by Rephlex records. Get the album if you can!
