Album in two parts:

1. The Mars Attack packshot with sick bunny red eyes – Or Heidi Klum sucking her finger in front of Rankin in raspberry coulis replacing a chocolate for lack of arms – Or Daft Punkien robot coming to life play it

2. Sometimes boringly soaring, sometimes worthy of a honeyed cereal pop’s commercial without Maya, sometimes energizing dancing feet lying body, sometimes brilliantly spirited, nevertheless too techno, japanese and synthesizing, often good.

Summary :

Not to be listened to in one go, to be put in random, and zapped from time to time.
An album excellently opened by Opposite of Love.
A kitschy moment of electro warmed up too quickly.
A rock approach noticed and appreciated on certain tracks.
A few pearls unfortunately spinning turbine.
Eclecticism well present, from garage, to Japanese techno, to naive pop.

Questions:

Alex: What about the clothes?

David: April 77, Undercover which is based in Tokyo, Mcqueen and second-hand clothes too.
Russell: I like B Store in London. Their stuff is pretty simple, but really cool.

Alex: And alcohol?

David – This or that, but whisky, even the smell of it gives me a pain.
Russell – Brandy and its effects on me.
