Resonance

Resonance, in the same way as Arpadys or The Peppers (who co-signed the double album the 7” comes from), is one of those phantom groups bringing together visionary producers, gifted arrangers, wandering composers and errant session men on the wildest projects. Here, it’s Pierre Bachelet and Mat Camison behind the Bacson alias and authors of these 2 insane compositions. First, OK Chicago, clearly the bravado track. A 2’36 minute high speed funk chase destroying everything in its path. A kind of perfect theme tune to an imaginary police series or cult blaxploitation film, stuffed with wah-wah guitars, booming bass, furious clavinet and crazy sirens. It’s hard to believe such an American sounding track was produced in France. The B side maintains pace for the length of a short trip in the Yellow Train. Hypnotic minimalism, emaciated disco and cosmic phaser push the groove towards special visions and abstract beats cult Italian DJ Daniel Baldelli might covet.
