Bochum Welt :
Gianlugi Di Costanzo has been a doyen of the left field electronic scene for
over ten years now. First appearing on the scene
with a flurry of underground twelves, the good offices of Rephlex quickly
saw a good thing, latching onto the Bochum
Welt phenomenon for four mini albums around this time, while also procuring
a full remix set of contemporary maverick
Like A Tim.
'Mannequin' here, dates from this classic period, suave neo-italo after
party tuneage. Bochum's gone on to contribute the
'Fashion' 3" to Hymen, further work for Rephlex, with a track on the
'Rephlexions' and a host of software werk. Gianlugi's
game fixations led him to score 'Pacman Deluxe' back in the day, which was
even included on the cd version of his 1997
Rephlex album, as well as contributing sound design for the likes of Sony
japan and even Games workshop !
Check the tune 'Telegame' for some flavour of where this music's headed,
roughed up bass undertow, ominous padding,
topped with a crystalline melodic architecture - killer stuff. Recent
commercial collaborations with Thomas Dolby have
fostered this sense of a full time technetronic crusader, at once leading
edge and at the same time fondly connected to the
analog, vintage warmth of classic drum machines, samplers, Oberheims and
Moogs. The tune 'Home' here relishes the fireside
glow of this nostalgia, but for a sense of this retrofuturism at its apex
head to the machine made ambience of 'Terpsitone' and
'La Nuit'.....
Bochum Welt was already at the head of the electropop community before the
new millenium came through and changed
the world. He is now standing at the gates of a new era and has composed the
perfect ambient, robotic soundtrack to a world
dependant on the love and good will of our new mechanical friends.
