Cerrone IX - Your Love Survived (1982) 02/09/2010
  Here is a record from the hair-dresser turned drummer, French record producer Jean-Marc Cerrone. Now this guy has his own story. It was the year 1975 (France) when Cerrone finally quit his day-job of a hairdresser to do something he had a strong passion for - Music. He was earlier associated with a band called Kongas which was a pretty impressive lot. Try getting your hands on Kongas - Anikana-O album which is magnificent. After meeting Alec R. Costandinos, the Costandinos-Cerrone due produced their very first album Love In C-Minor which was an immediate hit in the New York City clubs and Paris. Costandinos was furious when Cerrone did not credit him for any work on the album and they departed for good. The early albums by Cerrone have massively orchestrated Disco music with mind blowing violin ensemble and great basslines. Courtesy of Alec Costandinos. With his album Supernature that came out in 1977 and proved to be his most successful opus, Cerrone went totally electronic. We can hear a bunch of synths and other electronica playing.

The rest was the cliche 1980s style stuff. Take a listen ! I specially like "Look for Love" and "Give Me Love". The track "Back To Champs Elysées" has some more of the 1980s essence to it. Here's a decent vinyl rip. :) *Link in comments* CommentsBabu Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:02:41 Harshi: Harshi Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:46:44 Hey!
