Cerrone (full name: Jean Marc Cerrone) is a French Eurodisco drummer, composer and music producer born in Paris.Based in Paris, Cerrone recorded, composed and performed his solo debut "Love In C Minor", again with Costandinos. Released, in 1976, on his own Malligator imprint, and distributed by Warner Filipacci in France, it shocked audiences with its controversial erotic cover, which was soon to be a Cerrone trademark. It was later released with a new, tamer cover. Likewise, label censors edited out some racy commentary from the album. It also featured a cover of Los Bravos' "Black Is Black" and "Midnite Lady", a dramatic and anthemic, almost soundtrack directed instrumental piece that closed his brilliant debut.errone's Paradise, released in 1977, was recorded with Raymond Donnez, aka "Don Ray". The original French album cover featured a naked model but had a tamer cover for the US release (Cerrone wearing a Hawaiian shirt). His third album Supernature sold over eight million albums worldwide. A departure from the lush orchestration with dizzying electronic instrumentation added to the mix.

典型的なディスコ音楽の源流を作ったといえる人なのである。ディスコという意味では地味な国のフランスの人でありながら、シンセサイザー音をいち早く取り入れて、後の欧州­系ディスコや、ひいては現在に通じるテクノの流れを作った偉人だと私は思っている。

彼の代表曲は、Love in C Minorと写真のアルバムに入っているSupernatureの2曲。特に後者は、77年の発売ながら、既に電気音の長所をあますところなく採用した名曲だ。シンセ技術­が未熟な時代、例えば各楽器音をシンクロさせることが技術的に非常に難しかったにも関わらず、シンセ、ボーカル、効果音などが見事に調和している。曲調はやや神秘性を帯び­た緩やか系。BPMは120ぐらい。何度も何度も採りなおしながら録音したと思われる労作なのだ。今のクラブでも十分、使えることうけあいである。

発売から5年近く経った81~82年ごろになっても、私の地元だった札幌のディスコでは、盛り上げ時間帯が終わり、一息ついた時間にふとかかっていた。当時、同様にディス­コヒットを飛ばしていたゲイリーズ・ギャングとか、英国初期テクノダンスの雄であるヒューマン・リーグなんかと一緒にかかっていたのを思い出す。

  • I'm really happy my friend. In 1977 my sister and her husband brought this cassette when they came back from Paris. For a long time, they listened to this song in front of me and they thought I can not understand this music because I was a child. But I really knew the whole STORY in this song!

  • Great job brought back great memories.
