Ze Zeppap Mode レコード& CD

Review: Like a diamond washed ashore next to pebbles, only occasionally do records like Novo and artists like Laurent Boudic appear. The French producer has been hailed many times over as a pioneer in 80s synth, EBM and techno going without recognition. While much of his earlier work explored various strands of techno, his project Novo has always leant more heavily on classic, vintage-style EBM, yet tinged with a technoid edge. After his 5th transmission The Shortwaves surfaced in 2016, he's back in action again to brave new SF frontiers: just look at that floating terra-drome on the front cover. 'Cassiopee', 'Dyson Sphere' and 'Erbium Rekonztrukt' are best-of-the-best electro explorations of new worlds, expressing alien possibilities otherwise inexpressible in words.
