Black Devil's re-emergence over the last couple of years is a remarkable story. After the rare gem "Disco Club" was re-released on Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records, the hype surrounding its release brought French library music legend Bernard Fevre (now 62) out of disco obscurity and back into the limelight. Riding that success was 2006's "28 After", literally recordered 28 years after "Disco Club", and last year's "In Dub", complete albums of new, albeit retro electro/disco. "Eight Oh Eight" completes the trilogy in the most impressive manner, with the retro-futuristic dance vibe by far sounding its most refined. There's a charm here most disco producers wouldn't dare mess with, and how Bernard is able to balance it so as not to go over to the cheesy side I'll never know. How Bernard still has a touch of the subtlety of disco music at his age at all is quite impressive, but if you've vere delved into his library recordings (check Luke Vibert's collections on Lo for some examples), you should have an idea how ahead of his time Bernard was. In a generation that is finally catching up to his genius, Bernard is finally getting his props.

Black Devil Disco Club, Radio Slave, and now Quiet Village, are all becoming collectively some of the best dance music today.
