Don't have Disco Nouveau yet?
Since the last time we spoke, Tangent 2002: Disco Nouveau had yet to be
unveiled. It is out now and has generated considerable interest from both
fans and press alike. Here is a few of the more favorable proclamations:
Rolling Stone -" Fat-bottom electro that puts the "new"
in New Wave" 4/5 stars
Spin - "Robot Disco's definitive statement" 8/10
Village Voice - "The best electro-nouveau comp so far"
NME (UK) - 8/10
Groove (DE) - ..something nice in German that we can't read.
7 (UK) - "Ghostly do it in style.Unabashedly thoughtful." 4/5
Mixmag (UK) -"Will blow away all doubters." 4/5
DJ (UK) - "new school's best compilation to date."4/5
Jockey Slut (UK) - 4/5
The Disco Nouveau compilation (CD / 3x12" series) is still available
through buyghostlyT via WWW.GHOSTLY.COM. The lavish limited edition book
version is now sold out but you should try to find some of the remaining
copies at your local shop if you have a penchant for such wonderful things.
A video for a Disco Nouveau song is in the works.
