But why stop with just the one video? Jean-Marc Cerrone has a whole youtube channel! Here then is another floor-filler, featuring a more traditional promo that shows us the real Cerrone. Look at him go!
In Call Me Tonight we see the orginal daft punk get out from behind his drums and invent a brand new dance using just his knees. Jean-Marc really uses the space here. Very "Jamiroquai".
Then there's Je Suis Music, (of course there is), its lyrics a terrifying litany from a civilisation in freefall, but whose video takes a quite different approach to the subject than the similarly apocalyptic Supernature, although both feature limousines:
And finally, from the eighties, Cerrone's still on his apocalyptic kick, but has lost the moustache and is now just throwing every idea he can into the mix. See how many you can spot! Also, bums.

That's it. Remember to keep dancing, gang!
I bloody love sci-fi disco anyway (cf. Dee D. Jackson et al.) but Supernature is possibly its grooviest peak, so I look forward to getting on down to additional Cerrone sounds, an area I have tragically neglected to explore before.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MZFzBHYQg&list=FLmt9OfR32udHD_ST8L3WcHg&index=5&t=3100s
