Negative Positive
Title: The English "French Touch"
Review: Well, ever since Jacques Lu Cont kick-started the now-emerging electro-clash, or electro, or third wave electronica (Whatever) scene back in '99 under his Les Rythmes Digitales guise (an as-yet-not acknowledged fact, mind you), he's been working an even more 80's muse, and now equipped with squelchy keyboards-...guitars and, er, two other guys, he's turned in what amounts to a Duran Duran album for the Radiohead generation under the Zoot Woman guise.But beneath the electro-dance numbers ("Information First"), the vague ...eroticisms ("Jessie") and the cheeky but daring Kraftwerk cover ("The Model") lies the burgeoning songwriter in Lu Cont, as evidenced on the slightly-too-daring acoustic closer, "Holiday Home".Unfortunately for Lu Cont, this is another album that has passed under the North America radar, but even the few people I know who've listened to Living In A Magazine are really feeling this record ...
