VARIOUS / SONAR KOLLEKTIV - Computer Incarnations For World Peace 2, Sonar Kollektiv

The first instalment in the Computerincarnations For World Peace compilation series focused on the new wave era, unearthing lost gems from the disco of the early '80s. This sequel brings us bang up to date with an overview of the current state of disco-inspired production, with names like Maurice Fulton, San Serac, Daniel Wang, Todd Terje & Prins Thomas cropping up over the course of this enjoyable, unmixed collection. The first of three previously unreleased tracks gets the disc underway: an instrumental rendition of 'Mahogany' by Alex Storrer under his Lexx guise. It's suitably old-fashioned sounding cosmic disco revivalism, imbued with melody from glockenspiel and warm, slightly hazy synths. Immediately after Nordic disco scholars Todd Terje & Prins Thomas fire up their melodicas and embrace downtempo, dub-infused disco sounds spun around a warm live kit sound. Leaning further toward the Italo sound, the duo of Versatile's I:Cube and DJ Gilb'r under their Chateau Flight alias are up next, referencing a more obviously synthetic palette, resulting in a lovingly rose-tinted view of '80s dancefloor strategies - and one of the clear highlights on the compilation. A more classic disco aesthetic is channelled during Daniel Wang & Brennan Green's remix of Crazy Penis' 'Keep On', featuring hand-played percussion, silky guitar lines and a soulful female vocal, and there are other examples of that warm, rich '70s sound to be found here (notably Woofy's 'Odyssey', a fine piece of smoothed-out pop from Londoner Simon James), but the Sonar Kollektiv crew are clearly intent on showing the full diversity of the disco genre, returning to the new wave-era sounds of the first Computerincarnations For World Peace volume via Maurice Fulton's reworking of Rollmottle's 'Take A Break', employing a gutsy, chorused '80s slap bass sound and unravelling an expertly composed funk track.
