Vadim music presente :

"Spaggiari revient" est le premier EP de Minimatic.
5 titres pour une ambiance sombre et cinématique.

18 minutes d'un hypothétique 1977, fruit d'une rencontre (vécue) de hasard à Nice, entre palmiers troubles, gangsters acrobates à cigares et lunettes noires, flics en trench-coat suant au soleil, jolie filles en Courrèges sur les galets, et mélodies obscures en sous-sol de banque...


"absolutely gorgeous. (...)
Issued on the celebrated Vadim Music imprint (...), Minimatic time travels back to the hazy summer of 1977 to craft out a sumptuous soundtrack for a film never made and in the process carves out a highly authentic sound-scape rich and laden with the groove laden retro vibes of that era. Stunning doesn’t even come into it, what Houpert has done here has ingeniously blended an amorphous aural landscape that blends and bends elements of hypnotically woven slices of lounge / down tempo / chill pop nuances (check the bliss out hazed boogie of the bachelor pad moog motifs of ‘fin de bal au’ with its Barry Gray intones) with subtle library music accents all longingly dusted with sophisticated servings of deeply exotic funk strewn grooves. The sounds veer to the subtle extractions of early 70’s styled blaxploitation grilled on a low heat to the sublime folds of Edwin Moses like classicism though ostensibly smoked with an inspired persona of Morricone as though paired and collaborating with a spy schooled Komeda. From the lazily spun nocturnal moves of the early 70’s American TV cop show like backdrops of ’Spaggiari Revient’ with its smoked key decorated laid back easy pop amour freckled, framed and sublimely saturated in swathes of lunar-esque electronic swathes to the milky way montages of the baroque styled ’une moto dans le nuit’ which unless my ears do deceive sounds like early career Jean Michel Jarre recalibrating the lush spectral folds found on the more cosmically alluring moments of Stereolab’s ’cobra phases’ set - Houpert exacts an unworldly and deeply affecting collage of mood mellowing moments. Elements of Stereolab or rather more precisely Broadcast (albeit overseen by both Mancini and Norman) are toyed with on the delectably Harpsichord washed spacey cocktail shimmer pop of ’la piccola traccia’ while our favourite of the set is the demonstrably edgier psyche funk braided ’French Visa’.
Recommended without question."

Ce disque n'est pas la fausse B.O d'un film qui existe. Mais la vraie B.O d'un film qui n'existe pas.
