There is something from Dagobert, Telex and Mondino (Cf. "La Danse Des Mots") in this One L. Artist putting down the long list of Kraftwerk or Yello descendants, New-Yorker for a long time influenced by underground metal then industrial delivers with "Das Nonstop-Programm" a pure 80's style album oscillating between naïve tunes and delightful dancefloor tracks. Without nostalgia, US producer distillates in eleven titles an original and old school music that often pushes forward Atari sounds, "Analyze & Duplicate", "I Like Analogue" and "My Baby Got It More" being the best examples. Blending with talent simplistic self-willed vocals ("My Komputre", "I Got The Rock") with vintage synthesisers ("Electrovulse", "Le Waif"), this enjoying opus offers a subtle dosage of fun, robotic funk and freshness in a time more and more electro productions are turning into dark and rough atmospheres. Cover of cult Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" in vocodered version is worth to be listened!!!
