about

Le facétieux Philippe Brown, membre du duo La Punta Bianca (quelques sorties sur le label berlinois Detriti) qui officie également en crooner solitaire sous le pseudonyme de René Couteau et celui du producteur de musique de danse Raymond D. Barre, nous a livré ce bagage abandonné mais irrésistible !
Du haut de sa tour de contrôle du nord-est parisien, il a ironiquement fantasmé une vie de collège cadre avec son bilan carbone désastreux, passée dans des aérogares et terminaux rétrofuturistes.
Il soigne son jetlag avec son fidèle Juno 106, sa boîte à rythmes Vermona et sort la basse pour les moments les plus épiques de son polar fait de vol au long cours, de check- in et check-out, de moleskine, de microfilms, de rencontres d'un soir et d'espaces fumeurs.

The cheeky Philippe Brown—member of the duo La Punta Bianca (released on the Berlin label Detriti), who also operates as a crooner under the pseudonym of ‘René Couteau,’ and a dance-music producer under ‘Raymond D. Barre’—unlocks this once lost attaché case, music that is irresistible! From the top of his North-east Parisian control tower, he ironically fantasized about a life in business class (disastrous carbon footprint to boot), going from one retro-futuristic air terminal to the next. He soothes his jet-lag with his faithful Juno 106, and his Vermona drum machine. He breaks out the base for the most epic moments of this espionage-laced thriller: Think subtle glances on long-distance flights, check-ins and check-outs last name first, airline seats covered in moleskin, microfilm concealed in hidden compartments, one-night stands through veils of cigarette smoke.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
