Title: consistent funky french disco
Review: It's always a challenge making a house music long-player, even tougher when consisting mainly of funky French disco. So are the two men of Cassius (one of which is half the Daft Punk duo, and somehow one-third Stardust if my Parisian math is correct) up to the task?Mostly yes. Over 16 tracks (!) the hits come early, such as "Feeling For You," and follow a devised formula: choice vocal sample, mid-tempo disco groove, and enough quirky funk to keep things flowing. In fact, not even these elements are needed in songs like "Foxxy" and "La Mouche" which survive off the strength of a swirling beat.As skillfully produced as the numbers are, this sound is hard to sustain, and indistinguishable filler tracks like "Crazy Legs" and "Planetz," do creep in. Hang around for the "Cassius 99 Remix" at the end, and shuffle the album in with a few others when listening to fully appreciate. Grade: B
