Over a quarter of a century later, when Rephlex reissued Black Devil's impossibly rare <I>Disco Club</I> -- so rare that some wondered if the whole thing was one of Aphex Twin's hoaxes -- the mythical electro-disco project turned out to be the work of Bernard Fevre, a French musician who had then disappeared into obscurity. Emboldened by the feverish response to the 2004 re-release of <I>Disco Club</I>, Fevre returned in 2006 with <I>28 After</I>. The title referenced the delay before his sophomore effort, but its pitch-perfect Italo-disco pastiche sounded like his drum machines had barely cooled since the 1978 sessions. With flayed hi-hats, gurgling electronic bass and ghostly, dubbed-out vocals, <I>28 After</I> established Fevre's privileged place in the disco continuum. Fans who had marked their calendars for a third album in 2034 were delighted when the disco Rumpelstiltskin resurfaced in 2008 with <I>Eight Oh Eight</I>, a tribute to the legendary Roland drum machine. - Philip SherburneDiscoen720Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:28:25 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11974181&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fblack-devil%2Fplaylists.rss Record buyers in 1978 who thought the names "Joachim Sherylee" and "Junior Claristidge" were too good to be true turned out to be right.
