Electrobeats and trippy, cerebral lyrics
are celebrated here on this latest effort from this French collective
fronted by Miss Kittin. Drawing on electroclash, ambient, and
a touch of punk, the music by Miss Kittin is quite hypnotic and
pulsating, whether on a rocker like "Meet Sue She Be,"
the dance happy "Allergic" the atmospheric Happy Violentine.
Miss Kittin also draws on the bizarre as on "Requiem for
a Hit" (with the lyric "I beat that bitch with a
hit") and the spoken word whisper tension of "I
Come.com." Kittin's breathy voice brings conveys a sense
of detachment and mystery to the collective aural soundscapes.
This is conceptual arty music purely for the senses, an approach
that certainly achieves its intention.
