Miss Kittin & The Hacker – First Album

An absolutely legendary electro album. Tracks like Life on MTV, Stock Exchange, You & Us, and Stripper (which feels like an homage to Dopplereffekt's Pornoactress) make this album extremely unmissable. Have listened to this so many times

My knowledge about electro is exceeded only by my non existent infatuation with synchronised swimming. Regardless, this album kicks major ass. Simple, linear beats, determined to get the feet tapping and the head nodding, with simple yet catchy melodies, electrocuted sequences and some throwback to the old school sound effects. The general groove is solidly kept throughout, and the tracks all move in a similar direction, so if you the ride on time, the electroclash cloud will soon encircle you and chances are it won't let go until the running time is over.
Miss Kittin's vocals hit it right on. Her lyrics are pointless, going and aiming nowhere, but who cares when it is so much fun? I seriously doubt she delivers a latent revolutionary message, but I could care less when I get so many kicks out of her voice, which ranges from slow and droning robotized on Slow Track to fast and don't give a damn about anybody on the amazing Stripper and Frank Sinatra. She actually sounds cool by saying nothing, and maintains this attitude of a wacked out chick who will crush your nuts by stepping on them with high heel leather boots. Delicious.
Just check this out:
"Every night with my star friends,
we eat caviar and drink champagne,
sniffing in the VIP area
we talk about Frank Sinatra..
You know Frank Sinatra?
He's dead! HAHAHAHAHA! Dead."
I love it. Electronic music which puts a large smile on my face despite the fact my expectations were below sea level. Furthermore, I actually listened through the entire CD twice and found no feeble moments, which is a rare feat I am afraid. Great job, you two!

Miss Kittin and the Hacker have got some great techno beats. Check out their first album on Gigolo Records and you wont be disapointed! It is so fun to dance to, it is really a great techno/dance album. Also, check out other Emperor Norton artists such as Ladytron and Felix De Housecat.
