    Alter K hook up a total score for all the disco heads with this complete reissue of Bernard Fevre's seminal 1978 electronic disco masterwork, remastered by the man himself. When Rephlex reissued selected cuts from this LP back in 2004, no one was willing to believe that something this mindblowingly good, brain-meltingly ahead of its time and earth-shatteringly rare could actually exist. Instead, the nascent message boards and social media sites went into conspiracy overload, suggesting that it was in fact the work of electronic royalty Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert, a view still held by some whack jobs out there. In a way I can't blame them; the driving bass sequences, menacing synth tones and haunting, disjointed vocals sound like nothing else recorded at the time, and little since to be honest. The sheer quality, sleaze and stomp of this record makes all those dark disco tunes knocking around in the mid noughties sound even more laughable and dated, hitting heights the electroclash kids failed to see even in their most overblown coke dreams. It's no wonder that Aphex Twin, Metro Area, David Holmes, and the Chemical Brothers all rate this LP in their all time lists. Lovingly packaged with the original iconic artwork and released in strictly limited quantities, this is one of the best purchases you'll make all lifetime. I'll leave the final words to Bernard: "Today I feel I am really Black Devil instead of Bernard Fevre because Fevre was born in 1946 and Black Devil in 1978. So if I am Black Devil I am 37 years young!"
