Francois Corneloup - Pidgin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This group is compact, the sonority is full and the members remain open to the energy that flows. Corneloup is the principal vehicle, with his round and rich sonority, in constantly tumultuous phrasing, which is both lyrical and strangely serene. His strength stems from this integrity.

2011 from the Detroit Garage rockers. Nearly 10 years after their critically-acclaimed album Ultraglide in Black helped kick-start a renewed interest in all things Detroit and Rock 'n' Roll, The Dirtbombs this de facto companion piece. Where Ultraglide was a covers collection of '60s and '70s Soul gems, Party Store is an assortment of live-band interpretations of classic Detroit Techno music of the '80s and early '90s. The subject matter runs the gamut from materialistic future-disco braggadocio (InchSharevari,Inch originally by a Number of Names) to cold, post-industrial isolation (InchAlleys of Your Mind,Inch originally by Cybotron) through the instrumental optimism of a worldwide house classic (InchStrings of Life,Inch originally by Derrick May). All these themes encapsulate the climate of Detroit both now and at the time of their initial . Let it be said clearly this record addresses both the past and the future of Detroit.
