Droids - Star Peace [Repressed Records - 2008]

Star Peace was the one and only album by this synth and moog bound French three piece from the 1970’s and what a great camp ride of  space influenced electronics, disco, funk and general addictive cheese this is.

Most of the tracks here are upbeat and Day-Glo buoyant with addictive sugary melodies, heavliy laced with chopping and bouncing disco beats and a  flow with funky synth bass lines. With lots of nasty ‘n’ spacey moog curls, throbs and intergalactic sound effects, raising banks of synthetic choirs and the odd touch of tabla and a sort of spaced out hippy charm. The tracks are all  instrumentals with just the slight peppering of chessey space bound dialogue, with all  the tracks been at a pumped –up and flare shaking pace with the odd touch of more dramatic throbbing beat-less space synth scapes, though these mainly come later on in the albums life. Renaissance De L’amour which finishers off the album has the lion share of these moments, but even that midway drops in a funky bass line and live drums before dropping into a nice tabla groove which sadly is not develop father. The album stays fairly conventional and camp  through out clearly trying to tap into the popularity of all thing space bound of the late 70’s- so don’t expect things to get too freaky or avant grade.

This is the first time this enjoyable camp slice of 70’s disco lined electrionca has ever been issued out side of France and it’s a very promising early release from new UK label Repressed, coming with an inlay booklet with a short write-up about the project and artwork from the  two singles that came from the album.
