This legendary 7”, no stranger to record hunters hungry for powerful, unmistakably
70s grooves, contains two Made in France funk classics.
Two, very different, examples of what the best studio musicians could produce during torrid sessions destined to provide the material for obscure library music records, shiny disco projects or unlikely exploitation 7 inches.
Resonance, in the same way as Arpadys or The Peppers (who co-signed the double album the 7” comes from), is one of those phantom groups bringing together visionary producers, gifted arrangers, wandering composers and errant session men on the
wildest projects. Here, it’s Pierre Bachelet and Mat Camison behind the Bacson alias and authors of these 2 insane compositions. First, OK Chicago, clearly the bravado
track. A 2’36 minute high speed funk chase destroying everything in its path.
A kind of perfect theme tune to an imaginary police series or cult blaxploitation film,
stuffed with wah-wah guitars, booming bass, furious clavinet and crazy sirens. It’s hard
to believe such an American sounding track was produced in France. The B side maintains
pace for the length of a short trip in the Yellow Train.
Hypnotic minimalism, emaciated disco and cosmic phaser push the groove towards
special visions and abstract beats cult Italian DJ Daniel Baldelli might covet. Essential! |
