Description
Lucifer Is A Flower is the final album from the legendary Black Devil. His story is as deep and strange as the music itself. His first album âBlack Devil Disco Clubâ is one of the most enigmatic electronic masterpieces ever made. So ahead of itâs time that no one could believe it was made in 1977 (released 1n 1978). Many thought it was a hoax and that the music was made by Aphex Twin or Luke Vibert but when Lo Recordings released the â28 Afterâ album in 2006, the truth was finally revealed.
Black Devil was the alter ego of Bernard Fevre, a French composer of electronic library music including the magnificent âStrange World Of Bernard Fevreâ.
Bernard grew up and worked in Paris, and it was the African clubs and rhythms that inspired him to make the âDisco Clubâ album. With only a small arsenal of electronic keyboards, a vocoder and looped conga drums he made music that transcends time.
Fast forward to 2020 and the final Black Devil release. âLucifer Is A Flowerâ is every bit as enigmatic, inventive and inspiring as itâs title suggests. A kaleidoscopic ride into the mind of a musical master. Beautifully packaged with design by Non Format that includes pictures of the devil as a young man, itâs a fitting tribute to a career that has spanned over 40 years of divine and diabolical genius.
