| | Description: | Spatial & Co is a synth-drizzled, spaced-out bass-heavy discoid-funk masterpiece
from French disco lord and Arpadys maestro Sauveur Mallia. Recorded for French
library label Tele Music, in 1979, it's by turns cosmic funk and creeping crime
funk, bursting with low slung, k-i-l-l-e-r basslines, loping drum breaks and
sparkling percussion. It's so funky it hurts.
Confidently swaggering out the gate is "Future Vision", with its loping yet
dextrous bassline across strutting beats setting the scene. "Cosmic News", with
its live crowd noises over killer bass work is reminiscent of Bernard & Nile's
"Chic Cheer". The bass vs synth workout "Baby Bass" increases the propulsion
whilst the dark and mysterious vibes of "Star Odyssey" serve as cosmic respite
from being overpowered by funk. The temperature and tempo are raised with the
bouncing sophisticated funk of "Meteor One", a slinky interstellar instrumental
of the highest order before the sultry, melodic "Bass For Love" offers some
attractive slow-mo sleaze to close out the first side.
Opening up Side B, the menacing, beatless "Space Alert" sounds like all those
sci-fi theme tunes from your childhood, synthesised into one glorious (black)
whole. "Galaxy Wars" is next, another majestic cosmic gem, sans drums. The
ultra-percussive flex of "All The Bass" sees the return of the frenetic funky
bass and neck-snapping drums. The stretched out funk of "O.V.N.I. Telex" is
irresistible and cavernous in scope whilst the swirling, dramatic "Galactics" is
an ominous yet melodic wonder. The throwaway funk-lite "Animals Bass" is a bit
of a daft way to close out this otherwise flawless set but, hey, flirting with
perfection is probably always more fun than actually achieving it.
Sauveur Mallia is a crucial figure in the history of electronic and dance music
and a hugely underrated French library bass player and composer from the Arpadys
/ Voyage crew. This is just the beginning of Be With's Mallia - Tele Music
reissue campaign!
The audio for Spatial & Co Vol. 1 has been remastered by Be With regular Simon
Francis, ensuring the punch of Sauveur's bass and those sick drums come through
to the fullest. Pete Normanâ??s expert skills has made sure nothing is lost in the
cut whilst the original and iconic sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ
as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue. - Trident Studios London: Steve Tayler
