Born Bad France Vinyl & CDs

Review: Space Oddities (1972 - 1982) are the results of Frenchman Georges Achille Teperino aka Nino Nardini, fellow countryman Roger Roger and German Eddie Warner's collaborations over ten years at Ganaro recording studio. Given some underground recognition in the late nineties by the likes of Barry 7 of Add N to (X) (with his Connectors series) or UK electronica legend Luke Vibert, they can now add Alexis Le-Tan (Les Edits Du Golem) and Jess as devotees, who made the effort of compiling the release. As Born Bad stated quite succinctly, the trio used their "strange instruments to sketch out the beginnings of something that resembled the future of music. This collection presents some of the highlights from their light-hearted, electronic pop sessions."

Review: Finally closing the gap after five years silence, Vox Low return to Born Bad with their second album Keep On Falling. Over a string of singles the French kosmische-coldwavers cultivated a sound which took all the best bits of goth-tinged alternative music and poured them into a sharply focused whole. The band have only improved with time thanks to their rigorous touring schedule and this new full-length stalks even more vivid alleyways populated with denizens of the night and lit in flickering neon. There's a club streak to many of the tracks, but equally this is absolutely a live band playing with hearts and hands - just listen to 'New Place In Town' and prepare to be seduced whether it's your first listen to Vox Low or you've come back for more.
