actualy Sweet Drums was a latter edition to the track,SN first apeared in 77 as a 7"(charted in the uk at around #15),at the time Cerrone's Paradise was still in the album chart in France ,that was the first record he did with Wisiniac,after his collabrator from Love In C Minor(A Costandinos)left him to form his own(very succefull)carrer. after the SN succses they have released the 12" version with LICM as the b side,it went for 13,50 min,and Sweet Drums is just part of the break in that,later on when they released the lp in 78 it was cut diffrently and it ended up being 18 min side with In The Smoke try to find the 12 as it is the best mix (Maligator sacem king 1) also in the US(&Oz)the album was not gatefolded like in europe so missed the best picture ;) ,same goes for Cerone Paradise,and in LICM they censored the conversation bit at the begining,so with all his early stuff seek the euro pressing >It's funny as I spoke to Laurent Garnier in an interview a few weeks ago and >he was saying how all his generation in France were so dismissive of >Cerrone, it was embarassing and not cool. i once spoke to him about french disco too,and he did not know any of the bands i mentioned(Voyage,Allain,Destination,Palace bernheim,Max Berlin,Martin Circus,2 Man Sound,Damiano etc etc) He did know those cult disco record shops they had in Paris(Champs Disques& Lido Muzique) and had a lough when i told him this was more of a tourist atraction then the Eifle i think he said the first disco track he got into was Shanon's-let the music play which is realy long after the heyday of disco in the 70's if you want somebody that knows all about it try Dimitri from Paris, i've seen a good disco compilation cd he just released last week looks realy great Garnier was probably into Plastic Bertrand and bought records from New Rose (Cerrone advised >him on aspects, Le Fraint used Cerrone's backing singers, etc). And Daft > Cerone's backing singer was (young) Lene Lovich,which had a huge career later as a "new wave" singer (a la Toya,Gina X,Nina Hagen) and also worked with the Residents on a coupl of their albums >Anyway, what are Cerrone's definitive albums? > personaly i only like the first 3. fourth one(angelina)was a big let down at the time,and his latter stuff i could not get into as i was'nt into disco anymore,only track i half liked was Rocket In The Pocket,one of the records he had was very "freestyle"can't recall the name tho, there was also a "live" album,that had SN,nothing earth shatering -----Original Message----- From: jim proffit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Yes I like his work too. All the stringy stuff and his Kongas project too. I > the Kongas - Africanism,is indeed a masterpiece,hypnotising,(it's like Fela Kuti meets Labelle with Patrick Hernandaz&the Doors) and while it has a "super disco"written on it's cover,it is beyond most disco stuff of the period,same like Macho it also covered a S Winwood track and had guitar solo's in the break. afaik it is only produced by Cerrone,it's not his record,i actualy think that they were Wisiniak's band,and thats how they started working together,not totaly sure about it tho e,r
