  Sauveur Mallia - Spatial & Co Vol. 2 [BEWITH 122 LP UK 2023 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Originally released on Tele Music Records in France in 1979, and never re-released until this year, here is the second edition (of two) of cosmic-funk by French librarian and bass supremo Sauveur Mallia.  A little more disco than Volume One , this well mastered pressing by Record Industry sounds amazing, full of squelchy synths, space electronics, disco beats, and layers of percussion - all held together by Mallia's masterful & funky bass guitar. You would have to pay well over 100 quid for an original (and likely well worn) 1979 copy of this record, thank you once more to Be With Records for sourcing the tapes for these immaculate reissues.

  Sauveur Mallia - Spatial & Co [BEWITH 121 LP UK 2023 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Originally released in 1979 on the Tele Music label in France, and now a highly sought after and somewhat expensive record. British boutique label, Be With Records have pulled yet another gem out of obscurity with the first of two reissues by French multi-instrumentalist Sauveur Mallia. I will post the second album when I return from vacation, so here to whet your appetite is the first. Mixing seventies electronica and French cosmic funk, this album of what is essentially library music for TV and films is a sophisticated synth-drizzled funky-break work of art. Laden with killer basslines and funky grooves, Mallia proves himself to be the thinking man/woman's Jean-Michel Jarre, although he rarely found an audience outside the French market, more especially when he was a member of French disco-funk outfit Voyage.
