Then the French said, “Let there be dark disco.” And it was really, really good.

Right?! 1975. Whoa.

As a music genealogist, moments where new musical (sub)genres are born are pretty much the stuff of dreams.

Within this span of 84 seconds, from an offbeat library (ie music snippets) album “The Strange World of Bernard Fevre,” foundations are laid for the deepest, darkest, most esoteric disco album ever made, Black Devil’s”Disco Club” in 1978.

SCHEMATIC: The entire legendary “Disco Club” LP and a live performance!
