Italian band N.O.I.A. was amongst the first electronic music groups to emerge in the late seventies and early eighties alongside peers like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode. Nowadays they are re-releasing their back catalogue alongside a carefully curated selection of contemporary remixes and this latest package features two tracks, ‘Rule To Survive’ and ‘Time is Over Me’ with remixes from Kirk Degiorgio, Prins Thomas, Gaudi & The Orb and Baldelli & Dionigi.
In their time N.O.I.A. released on labels like Italian Records, had success both in the live arena but also in the studio and were always evolving throughout their active years, from a raucous and abstract sound into a more accessible outfit that were successfully on the Italian, German and Belgian dance markets.
First up is “The Rule To Survive” (Looking For Love), originally produced by Oderso Rubini and mixed in 1983 by Tony Carrasco at the Regson Sound Recording Studios in Milan. It’s a shiny disco cut with tons of bright synth lines, a real instrumental groove and fantastic melodies that shimmer like a hot sun. Nu-disco king pin Prins Thomas is the first to remix and does so in his usual epic, proggy, rock style with even more guitar licks and reflective synth lines.
Long time techno mainstay Kirk Degiorgio and the man behind London’s Machine parties with Ben Sims then reworks the track into a slow-mo bit of techno with whip lashing percussion, cosmic synth work and a healthy 80s vibe that harks back to the original. Italo Disco legends Baldelli & Dionigi then get to work on the same track, slow it down even further and rebuild it in magical layers of arpeggiated synths before dropping some heavily filtered vocal lines for the true kraut-disco feel.
The second track on this EP is a previously unreleased one dating back to the second half of the 80s. “Time is Over Me”, written by Bruno Magnani and, up until now, recorded only on the old “8-track” stored away in the Piatto brothers’ studio-loft is a truly lush, dreamy and breezy bit of disco with clean and crisp vocals, loveably tinny drums and intergalactic melodies that cannot fail to cheer you up. As well as instrumental and a classic 80s dub version, Gaudi and The Orb turn out a robotised version that is more driven and direct for the dancefloor, with groaning basslines, meandering synths and plenty of dramatic drum tumbles. It’s full of far from banal reggae and electronic citations and atmospheres and closes out an EP that reminds us of some forgotten classics at the same time as providing the world with some amazing contemporary reworks from some of the best in the game.

« Le Français Guillaume Léglise en pole position du renouveau french pop (...) au-tant inspiré par Daho et Voulzy que par Mac DeMarco ou les JuniorBoys.» 
Libé Next 

« Une version italo-disco, sensuelle et épicurienne, de la chanson pop française sous influence Voulzy et Daho (…) quelque part entre les folles nuits du Palace et la décadence new-yorkaise du début de la décénnie 1980 » 
Rolling Stone Magazine

« Une douce nuit parisienne qui s’étire jusqu’au petit matin, c’est ce que nous inspire l’écoute du titre électro-pop « Lady B. » de Guillaume Léglise, i. Avec une voix tirant sur les aigus - qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle de Philippe Katerine -, le musicien emprunte à l’italo-disco des années 1970 son côté acidulé et faussement naïf. En route pour une déambula-tion nocturne. » 
Trois Couleurs 

«Un sens du groove évident, des mélodies autant inspirées par le disco italien des années 1970 que les grands noms de la variété française, Fictions est la sensation de ce début d’été. 
Ça donnerait quoi le répertoire Laurent Voulzy revisité avec un gros plugin disco ? Certainement pas mieux que le nouveau projet de Guillaume Léglise qui met des paillettes sur la varié-té des années 1980. À quand un feat avec Corine ? »
Jack.canal.fr

Du Voulzy revisité à la sauce Italo Disco, du Gainsbourg revisité en Synthwave, du Yves Simon enregistré à Berlin... 
C'est des nuits d’été en ville, des histoires de fluides, des flashbacks obsédants, des murmures étourdissants, des baisers dans les rues, un clin d’œil au Palace, des histoires d’amour à Shanghai, le bleu brulant de la Riviera... 
L’aventure commence en 2016, quand l’un de ses amis, Alexandry Costa lui propose de lui écrire des chansons en français. Ils écrivent, enregistrent et travaillent à une dizaine de chansons pendant des mois dans un studio du IXème arrondissement.
