What I'm Listening To: Bernardino Femminielli's Plaisirs Americains
Artist: Bernardino FemminielliAlbum: Plaisirs Americains
What: Tastefully ironic Euro-funk/disco. Take a bit of Giorgio Moroder, cross it with Pink Floyd, throw in a healthy dose of disco beats and some classic 80s electro-cheese a la A Flock of Seagulls, and you've just about got it.
I've been playing the album all week and still can't stop. The emphasis is primarily on the beat, and keeping the beat going; the album really moves. But there's also enough depth and noir to make this a truly complex piece of music that's fun and direct, yet sophisticated and Euro-feeling; Femminielli is from Montreal and he speaks or rather whispers in French throughout the entire album. It's pretty sweet.
