Ce n'est q'un Début

Alexander Robotnick

1984
Materiali Sonori

Long-time musician, vocalist and producer Alex Robotnick’s influential 1984 album Ce n’est q’un Début served up six tracks of new wave, post-disco, proto-house, Italo-disco and Kraftwerk-flavoured electro, and still sounds if not revolutionary, then certainly very fresh today. Trying out different tempos and rhythmic variations via his sequenced beats and synthesised sounds, this album is a sophisticated exploration of the potential of music making via electronics, a global summing up of much that was interesting in electronic music at the time: Italo-disco, New York electro and European synth-pop. The term ‘seminal’ is often overused, but in this case, it’s justified.
