Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 1/22/98, pp.54-56
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a truly obsessive hommage to easy listening, a sublime Eurocheese omelet....fits in with European confreres like the High Llamas and the Divine Comedy: orchestral pop that mixes the acoustic with the synthetic..."Spin - 9/99, p.144
Ranked #50 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."Spin - 1/99, p.91
Ranked #5 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."Spin - 2/98, p.108
7 (out of 10) - "...this French duo offers up a sort of weightless trip-hop exoticism. But rather than pillage the usual African or Brazilian sources, Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoit Dunckel--tubas and Moogs in hand--travel deep into the cheesy heart of whiteness, cannibalizing Muzak, Italian soundtracks, and lounge..."Entertainment Weekly - 2/6/98, p.62
"...this French duo works the territory between sleazy blaxploitation grooves, naive rave-culture idealism, and pop songcraft. Though the melodies occasionally threaten to become saccharine,...Air leaven it with a welcome dash of Gallic irony."- Rating: A-
