Darkdancer

The blend of 80s synth pop and later dance music falls between the two stools

This left me really confused. I was determined not to like it at the start “just a bad version of moon safari” but taking it for what it is- a dance album, it wasn’t too offensive. A potentially generous 3* for the 80’s vibe

Won me over on the second spin as I was transported to an 80s dancefloor, ripped to the tits whilst I grooved the night away. A surprising (and possibly pharmaceutically-fuelled) 3*

I was huge techno fan / especially trance and ninja tunes but this didnt ever cross my radar. i dont get it myself it sounds pretty generic.

Huh. I'll be damned if this ain't catchy as hell. It's also repetitive as hell so there's a cap on how much I could enjoy this, but I *did* actually enjoy this one a bit which is unusual for electronica. If there were a version of this album where each track is 20% shorter I might actually buy it. 3.8

There are some pretty cool, groovy samples littered across this album, and plenty of moments that make you want to start dancing. But two things kill this album. It's inconsistency first of all is really frustrating - one minute you're grooving and the next minute you're listening to the same basic beat recycled 90 times. And exactly that is the second issue - every song is so repetitive, with beats used to within an inch of their life. There's definitely some fun moments here, but overall it's a 5/10.

Annoyed I had to sacrifice a full hour of one of my last Sunday's of the summer to get through this cyborg slop.

I originally had this album generated on day 17 before joining a group and having my progress reset. At the time I disliked it so much that I didn't finish the album. 500+ albums into this project and it’s the only album I haven’t finished on the list. At best these songs have an element that I enjoyed, but I couldn’t stand the rest of the song. For instance, the bass line on Music Make You Lose Control is great, but the rest of the song is just annoyingly repetitive. Other songs are either entirely forgettable or are just so incredibly annoying with excessive repetition that I want to skip them. Disco II Disco falls into the latter category and is the reason I couldn’t finish the album last time. It’s just an annoyingly repetitive vocal track, with an incredibly annoying synth note repeating constantly, over a bland and repetitive 4-on-the-floor rhythm. I feel like I'm starting to get annoyingly repetitive with the number of times that I've typed "annoyingly repetitive" in this review. Well at least I finished it this time and I am happy I did because the last track is easily my favourite one on the album as it breaks away from a lot of the annoying dance tropes. That said, one track isn’t enough to save this album for me. I just don’t like electronica or dance music and I am perfectly alright with that.

This is the kind of music I started this project to find. Even if it's ultimately not for me, I probably never would've stumbled upon it on my own and it was a fun listen. The electronica sound is enjoyable, but each song is pretty much one 30 sec sample on repeat.

I DO NOT WANT TO LET ANYONE KNOW I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM

see i liked parts of it (music makes you lose control!) and generally i wouldn't mind this album if it was just the intrumentals but a lot of the songs were very, very repetitive.

Not always to my taste but I appreciate how it took risks

So when this generated, I saw it was an Electronic album with it’s awful album cover and my expectations could not have been lower but surprisingly this was a fun listen. There wasn’t any standout track that will stick with me but, apart from the final track, I enjoyed everything on here. Can’t really ask for much more than that.

Nice beats nice vibe, bit tooo long for me for what it is but still enjoyed

i fw it, groovy enough to vibe to but nothing groundbreaking

The worst electronic album yet

2 out of 5. Very repetitive given the genre but there were some good times here.

Mediocre electro-pop. Started out ok with a few tracks with decent beats, then moved into some annoying tracks with annoying repetition that I had to skip before finishing up with some more mediocrity. Not a fan.

favs: dreamin’ music makes you lose control hypnotise take a little time mdc vendredi jacques your body makes me sweat rating 2.3/5

FUCK YEAH, CITROEN TRANSFORMER! 4/5

This isn't what I'd call bad, but I wouldn't call it impressive either. I had to skip Disco II disco because of that weird noise. I feel like this guy has more potential than is shown on this album No strong feelings about this one. ⭐⭐.51

Mixed mileage on this one. Spent some of the time wondering if this is the music they used to train AI slop. Some of it feels it could really have been put together by anyone. Then some time thinking it was okay, but a bit of a one-trick pony, beats and looped samples. Then I tried to be a bit less miserable, and decided that some of the remixes probably have value in a club setting, where they belong. But still unconvinced as an album.

sounds like the music from a Saved by the Bell episode when the gang sneaks into a 90s dance club, gets busted by the principal, and then ends with everyone learning a wholesome lesson (…fun to hear where Missy Elliot got that sample from though)

Eletropop y synthpop entretenido. Pero para ser de 1999 ya llega algo justito a la época. Nada especial para destacarle. 5/10

My 100th album is here 🥳. Being honest, this has been a really fun experience and I’m glad that I’ve made it this far…but this album really sucks. Going in already being tired of electronic music, I did not have a good time with this album. It feels like nothing music that can only be experienced by listening to it in a club while you’re doing something more interesting. The music doesn’t feel like it evokes any kind of feeling other than boredom, since the songs kind of just feel meant to be club beats, which doesn’t make for an interesting album. The songs, with the exception of maybe Soft Machine, the only thing close to a standout since it feels like an actual song, are just repetitive, mostly singing the same lyric as nauseam until you pull your hair out. The instrumentals don’t do anything cool, even though the artist is compared to Daft Punk in their spotify description, they don’t do any of the cool musical switch-ups or exploration of different styles that makes them so great. It simply is a vacuous space where music should exist, but does not, in the same way light cannot escape a black hole. Overall, a disappointing album 100, but I am looking forward to what comes next. There may be nothing to dance to on this album, but I’m going to dance my way to the next album.

Dated EDM. No thank you.

This one was fun and sped up the time it takes me to get to work. I was striding to the beat and before I knew it I was already there. I like the funky melodies but most of the tracklist didn't particularly leave me wanting much more. Favourites: Music Makes You Lose Control Jacques You Body

Dated and banal electronic dance music. A few OK hooks but they go on for way too long. Needs specific chemicals in the bloodstream to be enjoyed I suppose. Suitable for vintage video games maybe.

Actually enjoyed this listen! Very funky! And the album cover is amazing aswell!h

This sounds like music from a PlayStation game menu. Then the signing started and it took whatever “oh it’s not the worst thing ever” and quickly went in that direction. I don’t hate electronic music but there’s no reason I had to listen to this album. It doesn’t belong on this list.

No estaba en plataformas

Pretty good electronica.

Not usually my thing but it banged

Solid beats

I didn’t even finish this one my guys.

About five minutes worth of decent beats, most of which weren't even original creations

Glad I waited for the end of the album where the bangers are: Jacque and about funk. Unique and fun. Not my favourite beeps but I enjoyed them. 3 boops

It's funky, nice, very fun dance album

Not really my cup of tea, but it was for sure interesting and some of them, the ones that felt like actual songs not just tech demos were pretty decent

Sounds like the soundtrack to an Abercrombie store. Not something I would ever choose to listen to voluntarily. And I didn’t particularly appreciate involuntarily either. Ridiculous that this is even on the list.

The voice from "Disco to Disco" is what you hear when you enter the gates of hell

En serio?? Entre los 1001 discos mejores?

Some solid bops here. I put it on during work and it settled me into a complete zone. Not really my thing, but enjoyable nonetheless

Pretty unenjoyable stuff here.

Not for me.

I was trying to vibe with it early on, it was bumping, until it just felt like the needle was skipping right on beat.

Mind numbingly repetitive. So boring.

Double techno/dance album from ‘99 but had an 80’s pop sound to it. Not bad - upbeat, if not a little repetitive at times. Only half the tracks were available. Solid 3.5, will go with 4 because it piqued my interest.

Didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did. Not sure if it was my mood or the circumstances. Not as much pure technology and lots of focus on the groove. Easy to jam and not get lost in another world. This one will stay saved.

*1999. English house/dance. *Pretty traditional house music. Not my thing, but it was fine for what it was. RATING - 6/10

The slapstick electro-funk reached its most cartoonishly annoying on "From: Disco to: Disco"

ugh.

It was okay. I do not really understand the techno music craze.

I didn't really have any expectations coming into this record, and ended up pleasantly surprised. Favourite Track(s): Dreamin', Hey you what's that sound?, Jacques Your Body Makes Me Sweat Least Favourite Track(s): Damaged People

To offer an *in-depth* review of **Les Rythmes Digitales’ *Darkdancer*** (1999), one must first acknowledge the sheer audacity of its premise. In an era dominated by post-Britpop melancholy (Radiohead) and the brutalist aggression of Big Beat (The Prodigy), French producer Jacques Lu Cont (aka Stuart Price) released a record that sounded like it had been beamed in from a parallel 1982—a world where Giorgio Moroder produced disco for sentient androids, and Kraftwerk decided to write love songs. *Darkdancer* is not just an album; it is a **hyper-stylized, retro-futurist manifesto**. It is a love letter to the late-night drive, the synthetic heart, and the cold sweat of the dancefloor. --- ### 1. The Lyrics: Cold Observations, Warm Desperation On the surface, the lyrics of *Darkdancer* are simple, repetitive, and often nonsensical. However, this simplicity is a deliberate Trojan horse. - **Thematic Core:** The album deals almost exclusively with **urban alienation, obsessive attraction, and robotic hedonism**. Tracks like *"Music Makes You Lose Control"* are not about the joy of dancing; they are about the *loss of self*—the terrifying dissolution of identity into a four-on-the-floor beat. - **The "Jacques" Persona:** Price adopts the persona of a sleazy, wealthy French playboy (the "Jacques" spoken word interludes). The lyrics are littered with command phrases: *"Get up," "Move your body," "Take a chance."* They are not invitations; they are algorithmic commands from a machine trying to understand human pleasure. - **Highlight - "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife":** The lyrical peak is the bizarre, monotone spoken-word monologue over a frantic house beat. It subverts the album's glossy surface by delving into grotesque anxiety and surreal imagery. It proves Price knows this world is absurd; he is winking at the listener while maintaining a deadpan face. - **Critique:** The lyrics are undeniably thin. If you are looking for poetic storytelling or emotional vulnerability, you will find a void. This is functional lyricism—designed for rhythm, not poetry. --- ### 2. The Music: The Architecture of the Groove Musically, *Darkdancer* is a masterclass in **micro-sampling and filter-disco**. Stuart Price does not just use synthesizers; he *worships* them. - **The Bass:** The album features some of the most rubbery, elastic, and hypnotic basslines ever committed to tape (specifically the Roland TB-303). The bass on *"Jacques Your Body (Make Me Sweat)"* doesn't just pulse; it *undulates*, locking the hips into a vice grip for the entire 40-minute runtime. - **The Synths:** Price uses heavy analog warmth (Jupiter-8s, Minimoogs) layered with brittle, glassy FM-synthesis. This creates a dichotomy: the music sounds simultaneously vintage (70s disco) and futuristic (early 90s rave). - **The Sampling:** Price is a sorcerer of the sample. He chops vocal snippets into percussive instruments. The stuttering "g-g-g-get up" and the chopped vocal stabs are not singing; they are rhythmic punctuation marks, placing him firmly in the lineage of Daft Punk's *Homework*. --- ### 3. Production: The "Hypnotic" Wall of Sound This is where *Darkdancer* separates itself from its peers. Produced entirely by Price himself, the album has a unique **"compressed dry"** sound. - There is very little reverb on the drums; they hit you in the chest with a dry, punchy thwack. - The mix is incredibly **mid-range focused**. Price refuses to let the low-end overwhelm the track, instead pushing the squelchy acid lines to the forefront. - The album flows like a seamless DJ set. The transitions between *"Hypnotise"* and *"Take a Little Time"* are so fluid that the album feels like one continuous, 40-minute synthetic seduction. - **The Flaw:** The production is so consistent that it borders on monochromatic. By the time you reach the final third of the album, the ear can experience fatigue from the relentless filter-sweeps and the static drum machine. --- ### 4. Themes: The Robot in the Discotheque *Darkdancer* operates on two distinct thematic layers. 1. **The Human/Machine Interface:** The title itself—*Darkdancer*—suggests a silhouette moving alone in a dark room. It is the sound of a lonely person using synthetic music to simulate human connection. Tracks like *"Let Your Body Learn"* are existential: if your body is learning the rhythm, is it *you* dancing, or are you just a biological vessel for the machine's algorithm? 2. **The French Touch Ethos:** While Daft Punk were exploring the "discovery" of house music, Price was exploring the *seduction* of it. The theme is purely carnal. This is music for the drive to the club, not the afterparty; it is about anticipation and tension, rarely about release. --- ### 5. Influence: The Blueprint for Electroclash and Nu-Disco *Darkdancer* was a minor hit upon release (peaking at #45 in the UK), but its *long-tail influence* is colossal. - It directly paved the way for the **Electroclash** movement of the early 2000s (Peaches, Fischerspooner) with its deadpan vocals and retro-synth obsession. - It influenced the **Nu-Disco** revival of the mid-2000s, teaching producers that disco could be filtered through a cold, minimalist lens. - Most importantly, it established Stuart Price as the ultimate "producer's producer." His work on Madonna's *Confessions on a Dance Floor* and The Killers' *Day & Age* is a direct evolution of the rhythmic propulsion and sleek sonic gloss first perfected here. --- ### 6. Track-by-Track Highlights - **"Jacques Your Body (Make Me Sweat)":** The opus. The breakdown where the bass drops out and the crowd noise filters in is one of the most euphoric moments in 90s dance music. - **"Music Makes You Lose Control":** Pure, frantic energy. The vocal sample manipulation is genius. - **"The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife":** The curveball. It breaks the formula and shows Price's experimental, weird side. - **"Hypnotise":** A masterclass in restraint; it builds tension for nearly two minutes before the beat even drops. --- ### 7. The Verdict: Pros and Cons **PROS:** - **Timeless Groove:** The production is so crisp and analog that it has not aged a day. It sounds as fresh in 2026 as it did in 1999. - **Hypnotic Flow:** The seamless mixing creates an immersive, almost trance-like listening experience that demands to be heard on a good sound system. - **Unique Aesthetic:** Price created a wholly unique sonic world—a sleazy, neon-lit, robotic Parisian nightclub that no other producer has successfully replicated. - **Dancefloor Functionality:** Every single track is built for maximum physical response. It is scientifically engineered to make you move. **CONS:** - **Lack of Emotional Range:** The album has one speed: hypnotic uptempo. There are no ballads, no moments of quiet reflection, and no dynamic shifts in tempo. It can become exhausting. - **Thin Lyrical Content:** The repetitive, monotone vocals are a stylistic choice, but they limit the album's ability to connect on a human level. It is an album for the body, not the heart or the mind. - **The "Novelty" Factor:** The spoken-word French interludes ("Jacques...") are fun the first three times, but by the tenth listen, they feel like filler that breaks the immersive magic rather than enhances it. - **Inconsistent Second Half:** The first five tracks are legendary; the last four, while solid, lack the knockout punch of the opening salvo, making the album feel slightly front-loaded. --- *Darkdancer* is a **cult classic** for a reason. It is not a perfect album; it is shallow, repetitive, and sonically limited. However, within those limitations, Stuart Price achieves absolute perfection. It is the quintessential "driving at 2 AM" record—a beautifully constructed, glossy machine that knows exactly what it wants to do and does it without apology. If you judge it as a pop album, it fails. If you judge it as a **pure dance artifact**, it is essential.

Love!!!!!!

As usual with dance albums, the club weapons sound out of place. You can see how he went on to produce nearly every banger of the 2000s

listened to two rounds of this during a long ceramics session, which probably biased me to be a bit more positive

This music is nothing but repetitive garbage. I struggled to get through it.

Not my thing - rather boring.

Albums like this make me question the person who is creating this. Was this some groundbreaking album for a genre or was this just one of 1000 electronic albums that are all the same?

Pure shit. 1/5

ugh the 90's when anyone and everyone thoguht they could make music?

Pa znaš šta, obzirom na vrstu glazbe, meni je ovo čak i oke. Volim taj zvuk sintića, ima dosta funky i 80s vibes. Na par pjesama sam baš zavajbala. Ova ocjena nema istu težinu kao za neke druge albume, ali moram nagraditi nešto ok u nizu loših albuma. 3/5, 5/10

Maybe it’s pearls before swine but this was boring and kind of anxiety generating.

Yep. Fantastic if you’re 15 and to be fair 15 year olds need music. But this is music you grow out of.

[disclaimer, this could be worsened as an experience due to the 'comedown' or jarring juxtaposing it with 1989 by Taylor Swift (enjoyed immediately before) which is kind of uplifting and lyrical in the way this isnt] The obscurity suggested undiscovered gold worth exploring, nope. Whats special here? A throwback to middle of the road late 90's techno thats only really charted when it was a cassius remix. Its ok but what could possibly be its significance other than sampling some top tracks unexpectedly or doing good colabs? it gets worse, after 3 tracks It Sounds a bit like video game music. or hold music. I am holding back giving it a 1 or wating time sayng more!

When my guys had an Xbox there was incidental music which played when a game ended. Thanks for that.

Stuart Price (a.k.a Jacques le Cont) has done some pretty impressive work as a musical director, producer and remixer; Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Killers, Kylie Minogue, Take That, et al. But this album of supposedly 'original' music is a thin gruel; a charmless 80s inspired, Daft Punk homage with little to recommend it (one fair single, Jacques Your Body, aside). But one funky bassline or guest vocal do not a banging album make - it is surprisingly mid-energy for a dance-floor record. Mostly harmless.

2/5

This type of music is so painful to listen to. They have one refrain that they play over and over for way too long with slight variances. Like dude I get it one minute in I need another 6 of it.

Not my thing

Did not enjoy. Brothers cause I had to. 1.5/5

Decent dance album.

Marrant, j’ai pas trop aimé l’écoute mais ça peut être sympa. Ça a un peu mal vieilli je trouve

Solid late 90 electronic album! Would give 3.5 if I could.

Fair

low key a bop what do you want from me

fun but fell a bit flat at times

Enjoyed this far more than I expected to, much more interesting and less monotonous than I feared.

1/1

For whatever reason, only two of the songs were available on Spotify but to be honest, that was great because those were soooo repetitive that I don't think I would've been able to go through an hour and 39 minutes of that. I guess they were trying some stuff in 1999 and that was kind of alright at around that time, especially as just a background listen.

Thoughts before listening: This doesn't seem like something I'm going to like. Review: This was a mixed bag. Its definitely overly repetitive dance music, but there were a couple songs that stood out to me. The final track "Damaged People" is one that I do enjoy with its dark, ominous tones. I'll give this 2-stars.

Total waste of time.

Far too repetitive.

1 - 5/10 2 - 6.5/10 3 - 6/10 4 - 4/10 5 - 6/10 6 - 7/10 7 - 1.5/10 desisti 1/10

wanna buy some deathsticks?

About Funk had a bridge that sounded like Katy Perry's California Girls

Electronic music website Thump's number 97 pick for their "99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time" so run, don't walk, to your preferred listening device. I'm not into the genre but it's not the worst, really. One thing: I find the album cover obnoxious for reasons I can't quite explain to myself.

This is shit.

I don't think I recognize this artist at all, so I'm going into this completely blind. Almost instantaneously, I could tell this would be tedious to get through. This just isn't my thing. What makes this album special enough to be included on this list?

no pensé que tenía tantos temas generacionales del género. un must listen de manual para la epoca y para los samples que se utilizarían años después

Oh boy I can already tell this one is gonna be polarizing. On the one hand, it's hypnotic, well produced, and features solid guest vocal performances. On the other hand, one could argue it could use more bass, and veers a bit too far into repetitiveness. While I do like it - it's quite groovy at times - I'm stuck in the middle, as I can't help but feel like there are other (better) late 90s/early 00's house artists to include on this list.

Þessi var ekkert spes. Minnir mig.

C'est vraiment à deux doigts d'être inécoutable mais c'est miraculeusement sauvé par quelques moments un peu groovy. Je me suis quand même pris a aimer la fin de l'album donc je sais pas peut-être qu'il faudra que j'y retourne à un moment. Pourquoi les DJ français me saoulent tous les uns après les autres en ce moment ?...

Apesar de não ser fã de música eletrônica, é interessante ouvir um disco onde foi primordial para evolução do gênero e inspiração para vários outros sons que temos hoje do gênero pop, que misturam os próprios elementos escutados neste disco. Lembrei de Tyler the creator, que faz muito isso tambem. Legal

Ok 2/5

Some very catchy tunes, but the production is a bit too much of its time for me

Eh, it's fine. Some of the songs later in the album show off an impressive voice. Wouldn't put it on a list of must-hear albums.

I can't believe I let this penetrate my ears

FUNKYYY inicialmente me recuerda a Jamiroquai (ni idea como se escribe), tmb un poco a música ochentera y new wave. Mi onda en ciertos moods, dp de un rato me distraje xq la mayoría de las canciones me suenan un poco repetitivas aunq tiene buenos riffs. Buen album pero idk if its my cup of tea. Would give it a second listen.

Komplet intetsigende. Et af de albums man ikke forstår hvorfor er på listen.

*63 Meget op og ned i kvalitet. Der var flere sange jeg sagtens kunne spille igen, men der var for mange kedelig og eller irriterende sange også.

Hvordan rater man det her album? Vi har på den ene side virkelig fede numre som "Dreamin'" og "Hey you what's that sound?" På den anden sider har vi numre, som er decideret ulidelige at høre på. Her tænker jeg "From: Disco To: Disco" og "Soft Machine" Det lugter af 2 stjerner, fordi jeg både er underholdt og får lyst til at slukke.

Det er jo en regulær banger-parade Det bliver dog også lidt det samme, og udtrykket er meget ens på nærmest alle sange. Men synes egentlig det er fedt nok, dog lidt langt 3.1

noget af det er jo egentlig meget catchy, men selv der hvor det fænger, er det også stadig fjollet - og så er der alle de steder hvor det kun er fjollet...

Godines mal eu aguante esto

It was okay. Slightly better than I expected. I am not really into dance music, especially when I am just sitting at a desk and listening. Some of the music had some interesting elements to it though, which made it bearable.

synthie, synthie, synthie.

Sicher tanzbar.

I thought this would be brutal and I was wrong. Pretty pleasant.

This one wasn't the best. It sounded unique for sure, but as the case with me and electronic dance music, it was very monotonous. I'm honestly not sure what they should've added to reduce that feeling. It was un-exciting. There also seemed to be remixes of other songs on here which was a bit weird for me; never really heard that on a album before. One semi-positive thing I suppose is that the artwork is very video game-y and the songs might be it's hypothetical soundtrack. But that's all my thoughts, wouldn't recommend it. It's just meh at most. Highlight Song/s: "Dreamin"

Can’t say there was much I really enjoyed here, there was nothing too offensive but largely not my vibe. Not the kind of album I hoped would bring up my 1 year on the challenge.

This album hits me with a bullet dead center, Funk? Techno? Upbeat? Bit of Hip Hop Energy? Absolutely knew after the first 5 seconds it was going to be a good time. There's already been half a dozen reasons this experience has been worth it so far but finding something like this on a random day is beautiful. Keep them coming

Older brother qui joue à la PS2 avec un lecteur cd à coté de lui. Mix sympas comme mix goofy. Certains ont très bien vieillis et d'autre pas du tout. certains sons sont accidentellement cunty, d'autres marcheraient bien en background de stream twitch.

I'm sure this is someone's Nirvana (band or place, you pick) but what a complete blackout this album was for me. There really is merit to this and you should hear it because even if it's not your thing you at least get to witness this thing. I can't give you anything from this album other than reading the song title and going "Oh yea I they probably said hypnotize a million times of a beat that sounds like it's straight out of Sonic" The instrumentals coast this up to a 3 because, while repetitive as hell, they do groove and they all could be sonic levels and isn't that really the true testament to how good a song is?

The rhythms are actually pretty fun. A bit more than just boots-and-cats-and-boots-and-cats. I guess it helped re-launch electro-pop for the early Aughts. I'm not totally a fan of that but I guess the influence is important. 'Disco II Disco' has a high-pitched recurring sample ('waaaaa' on the 'and' of 2) starting around the end of the first third that's annoying enough to skip the song. 3/5 -- you could continue your life without this one but it won't hurt you in any lasting way. It's pretty good but it's a weak relative of either Daft Punk or Justice (ironically, more French than Rhythmes Digitales, who is an Englishman).

crazy that these guys are so unknown. This was a great listen

was worried after the first track. so godawful bad. track two is a marked improvement. then “soft machine” is a stone groove. really great stuff there. “about funk” is also pretty great. “damaged people” is a really cool album ended. I mean, it’s a dance album, so not gonna be my jam overall. but there’s some really fun stuff but a lot of repetitious songs, too. again, dance music

Loved the vibes and got me dancing until every single song had the same formula - repetition repetition repetition! Hurt my brain after a bit sadly. Favs - dreamin’, hypnotise and take a little time

It's euro dance so is it even going to be more than a 2?

I don't want to be the no fun guy, but this music just wasn't that good to my ears. Maybe if I blasted it on a huge subwoofer, but until then 2/5

Interesting.

It wasn't horrible and there were some spots I liked. Until they repeated it for 3+ minutes.

In one ear and out the other, but during that trip it left a slight impression on me.

Just no

As someone who had a lot of dance music forced on me in the 90s and 00s, thanks to the ills of British radio and numerous whip-loving vixens, I still have no idea who these guys are. Never heard of them or the album, but presumably this contains a one hit wonder I've heard. I suppose you need to have a French album on the list somewhere, but it this representative of the country? It sounds at once like the soundtrack to a PS1 era snowboarding game. It also sounds incredibly dated, even by 1999. It sounds early 80s, like it should instead have been on the Beverly Hill Cop soundtrack or something. Like most dance albums, each track has maybe 30 seconds of content, which is looped until even the artist got bored. Maybe they'll throw in a vocal at some point, which again becomes part of the inescapable loop. It's not very good. Take A Little Time at least attempts to be a song, coming across as a half-decent 80s Madonna rip-off, and Sometimes isn't terrible. That saves the album from being a 1 star. I did know Jacques Your Body when it came on, ticking the one hit wonder box I mentioned earlier.

Ah a nice straight French (I guess!) EDM album. Like a more dancey Daft Punk. What's not to like! Vocal samples come from a range of soul, RNB, funk, and hip-hop. It sounds a bit quaint by today's standards, but it makes you wanna dance so it's doing its job! In places the chord choices are almost jazzy. Gets quite moody and atmospheric in Damaged People Best track - Dreamin, Hypnotise, Jaques You Body 4 stars - I think it sounds simple but there is more than meets the eye going on regarding harmonies and textures, and it's so catchy

An interesting decent techno album

The civer says everything you need to know, unartistic, uninspired music by and for douchebags who pretend to be elrctrinica hipsters to pick up annoying boho chicks

loved!

This seems to be taking a beating in the reviews. Fun synth-pop dance that set the tone for a while decade of music? I mean, you've got to respect the craft and foresight. It gives Daft Punk vibes at times, just more pop and lighter vibes.

Four notes in and I know this sucks. This is like the worst of 80s music and electronica at the same time. Maybe that's the appeal for some Millennial music critic with, like LCD Soundsystem said, nostalgia for the unremembered 80s. Add synth pop to the list of genres that as soon as I see the label, I know it's going to be a long listen. Why are all these electronic albums so long? I have no words for how awful this is. Disco II Disco is one of the most annoying songs I have ever heard. I guess I have some words. Mdc vendredi could just be warmed over Grandmaster Flash. Nope, it gets so much worse so quickly. This is like the music they use to program people in cults or to torture inmates in contravention of the laws of war...and people listen to this voluntarily. It really makes you realize how truly awesome drugs are. No shitty album would be complete without some fake found sound. This was not good. I guess Damaged people is the highlight? That's not saying much though.

Never heard of this before, not a bad breakbeat album, probably 2 stars cause I wouldn't care too much to come back to this. Once again, third day in a row I just switch back to Miles 2nd quintet to refresh my ear pallate haha

This is an early 90s things released almost into the 00s. I'm all up for the reinterpretation of music of the past, but it becomes less interesting when it's a literal copy of an era. Specially when someone starts singing nonsense. Two tunes stand out for being different: Soft Machine and Damaged People. The rest is just too derivative.

this is pretty unremarkable

3 because it is very influential

It wasn’t bad at the house. It would be above average If I scored this in the club after some drinks and dancing with my wife.

I was nervous when I saw the album cover but was happy to be wrong - wall to wall bangers!

It was medium ok house

I would definitely put this on again if i needed to dance, but it is a bit too repetitive as an album to be anything other than background or sweat music.

Very 90s and clearly dated, but it's fun and I can definitely hear where a lot of electronic music since has been inspired.

I’m don’t really dance.

I'm a big fan of repetitive electronic dance music but this didn't really grab me anywhere. If it's on the list as a pioneer then well done for paving the way for others to do a better job. If not then there's better examples out there. This started off as a 2* but the second half ('Brothers' and beyond) is a lot better than the first half.

So, it's an ok album - it's not the best thing I've ever heard. I confess, I skipped to the middle of several tracks just to get thru them. HOWEVER, "Hey you what's that sound?" was sampled on either a 2 Many DJs or Fatboy Slim mix and I'd never heard the original. I was honestly floored when that song started. And it's a banger so, that's the one big caveat on this album. Still 2 stars, but damn that song is catchy.

I would rather listen to Lords of Acid or Tricky or......almost anyone else....

I was certain that I was going to hate this, because I pretty much hate all of the euro electonic music from the 90s. But this was pretty sick. Its kind of cheesy and weird, but its totally intentional. Its like playing on the goofiness and cheese of the late 80s / early 90s, but its not that far removed so it kind of feels like its part of the same scene or at least winking at its not to far distant contemporaries. I definitely felt myself grooving and nodding along throughout this. I kind of had a blast with this. Its hard to hate on. Is that Robert Pattinson on the album cover???? Cedric noooooo!!!!

3.5. Enjoyable but a little bland.

Just kinda nothing special, almost sounds like Daft Punk but really just feels like a dollar store in the early 2000's.

Fantastic

This was bad. It got me grooving a little bit so I kept listening but nothing redeemed.

Just another pretty okay electronic album, some good enough production but not really interesting in any way

This was not good. And not short

Lonnnnnnng

It wasn't objectionable and it was actually catchy at times. But mostly it's generic and unmemorable.

nah

Album 85 Top 3 "favorites" off the album: Sometimes, Jacques Your Body Makes Me Sweat, Disco II disco Gotta be honest: saw a French name, got excited for potential language practice, and then did not get that. Oh well. The opening track made me think that this was going to be a clubbing album and I'm not much of a clubgoer. I was wrong. I ended up just as disappointed in this one as I would have been if it had been a clubbing album, though, so it's not like it got any worse. Brothers and Jacques Your Body Makes Me Sweat sound like they would be on RuPaul's Drag Race somewhere. This got tiring to listen to. All of it. Now that I think about it, maybe this would do fine in the club. Who's really thinking about how repetitive it gets, anyway? Did not enjoy, will not be coming back to. At least it's not Bob Dylan.

Techno techno. Must say quite like. Good beats and very catchy. As another reviewer said would never have listened to this but for the 1001. Really enjoyed this.

Loved the high energy in all these tracks. While still quite repetitive in the right context I could really groove to these tracks. On a hot summer day not as much but still really enjoyed it.

super nervig

Thought I was going to hate this but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I thought

Man. I tried, but this is just not very good video game music

Random noises for stoned people. In my opinion, that's not music.

This is my first listen to Les Rythmes Digitales and I'm not quite sure how to feel. The electronic rhythms and production are pretty decent, but they very quickly suffer from too much repetition, and, in turn, this repetition reveals how just unimpressive the album is. It's a shame, because I do really like the keyboards and the general sounds of Darkdancer, even the period of electronic music it was released in, but this is just subpar. I fail to see what is 'essential' or emblematic of a genre or style here. Highlights: "Sometimes"

Not great, it's built for the clubs so it tries to get away with stretching small offerings into a big listen, little did it know it'd end up on the almighty 1001 Albums list. Not the album's fault, it just wanted to dance, but it's here, it's repetitive, it's only so interesting, tracks like From Disco and Jacques Your Body really sell the album as sometimes just being a bland clubber pack, and I have to judge it

Kinda liked it

Fine

I liked it at first and then it just kept getting worse and worse. I also only listened to like a quarter of the album bc most of it is unavailable on spotify whoops

Actually a pretty fun listen

I liked it.

Lot of fun stuff on here, nice upbeat electro

Distilled y2k/gen x soft club aesthetic

OF COURSE this has to be a fake French electronic album by an English guy. OF COURSE.

One of first, if not the very first, one star reviews I gave on here was for Connected, by Stereo MCs. It was a dog shit English electronic album with a dog shit cover. I listened to it, and thought “ha ha! That stunk! That was funny!” That was about two and a half years ago. It’s almost inconceivable how many more dog shit English electronic albums with dog shit covers I’ve listened to since then. Why am I doing this to myself. Why do we do anything at all.

5/10

Fun

I was just thinking that it's about time I had some electronic music on here, so this was welcome. Not entirely my cup of tea though. I like the bits with heavy techno beats, but the repetitive vocals and samples get on my nerves a bit.

Some interesting ideas but also some very annoying and repetitive ideas.

Listening to this in 2026 is strange as it was hugely influential on pop music in the early 2000’s and now sounds over familiar. It’s not super original slightly less intense than Justice and far more more pop than Daft Punk but generally ploughing similar territory. At first it felt really repetitive but when you realise this is music for dancing and not for walking the dog it makes more sense. And whilst I wasn’t dancing by the end of it I was certainly looser limbed

Dreamin' - 3.5/5 Music Makes You Lose Control - 3.5/5 Soft Machine - 3/5 Hypotise - 3/5 (Hey You) What's That Sound? - 3/5 Take a Little Time - 3.5/5 From: Disco to: Disco - 3/5 Brothers - 3/5 Jacques Your Body (Make Me Sweat) - 4/5 About Funk - 3/5 Sometimes - 3/5 Damaged People - 3/5 I did not have high expectations for this, but it turned out to be a decent listen. It sounded a bit dated at times and the vocal mixing on some tracks could have been better, but I was grooving along so it wasn't that bad. Overall: 3/5 Favorites: Jacques Your Body (Make Me Sweat)

Well, this is not really my type of music but I must admin it is well produced. And it propably is liked by people who are into this kind of stuff...did not make it through the remixes though ;)

This slaps fuck all yall

A disco ball in the dark, this album is a dance floor of shadows and neon hues. Spins: 2 Playlist Additions - Dreamin' - Music Makes You Lose Control - (Hey You) What's That Sound? - Sometimes

Um álbum dançante, divertido e bem feito. CVJ Vivian.

daft punk's quirky inept cousin

From Disco to Disco might be the most annoying song I've listened to all year. Not my cup of tea at all but not unlistenable.

started off bad but by the end I was slightly brainwashed 2.5

The trouble with this kind of music, is that it borders between catchy and annoying. This album leaned more towards the latter.

Je crois avoir entendu quelques tubes

Some cool songs on this! It kind of tapers off into some not as good stuff.

NO NO NO NO WHY GOD NO NOOOOOOOOO

Why is this album on the list?! What reason do I need to hear this before I die?! Seriously it's annoyingly repetitive, nonsense. Yes it's music, but it's not good. Again, the list has no Tool, no Harry Belafonte, no Cranberries, but this pile of shit is one we have to listen to?! Fucking hell give me some better albums!

Całkiem catchy ale okładka albumu mnie wkurza

no es muy mi estilo pero admito que es innovador

Electronic music is, by definition, indulgent, & there's a fine & obscure line between a salubrious indulgence & one that mostly hits all the wrong notes whilst leaving you empty & emptied. Darkdancer, tho it starts often decent, satisfies the latter description, a record that offers no hope, no health, & no purpose. I'm more ambivalent about electro-pop than I am about any other genre in that I know almost immediately if I'm into it or if I can't stand it. I don't have much to say about this album: it fails somatically b/c it extends no bridge to the body & it fails cognitively b/c I can't imagine this guy doing anything interesting in the studio. The only thing I can dig is the cover art, which is distinctly turn-of-the-century-esqe. Mostly, I'll keep my distance.

These guys wanna be daft punk sooooo bad

Fruity Loops demo track-ass beats

Zeitverschwendung

I was fully ready to make a 'we've got Daft Punk at home' joke, but I actually really enjoyed this. So, I'll just have to save it in case there are any other dance acts pretending to be French on the list.

This could have been an email (ipv 2 cd's)

Grappig hoe een album zo gedateerd en zo modern kan klink at the same time. Het feit dat sommige liedjes nu kunnen worden gedraaid op een ietwat saai house feestje, zonder dat het opvalt, laat wel zien hoe ver vooruit bepaalde onderdelen van het album zijn. Voor de rest niet super interessant

Not my thing unfortunately. Although I like Europop, this is so incredibly repetitive.

leuk!!

puntje extra voor sophie

Some okay dance music. Nothing amazing for this time period but it's a nice listen. There wasn't anything that really stood out or got me moving but it wasn't bad. Probably not something I would listen to again.

2 hours of soulless bingley beep euro dance.

1.5/5 Nothing great on this album but I didn't mind some of the tracks. There were some good hooks in there but ultimately it didn't grab me.

Turned it off at Disco II Disco. I thought my overstimulated brain would explode.

Har bara lyssnat på cd 1, som verkar vara originalet. Trodde helt klart det skulle vara sämre än vad det var. Det är ju rätt daterat, men sköna beats och samplingar...

Väldigt 90-taligt och i många stycken utdaterat och lite småtöntigt, men det är trots det ändå rätt varierade produktioner och lite småkul lyssning. Svag trea.

Bij het zien van de hoes merkte ik lichte tegenzin moet ik eerlijk toegeven, maar verrek, positieve verrassingen: ze bestaan nog aan de achterkant van deze lijst. Track 2 (Music Makes You Lose Control, inderdaad: die met die sample die later ook bij Missy Elliot is gebruikt) is verrassend leuk omdat er onverwacht een gitaartje bij wordt gepakt en dan verdwijnt de aanvankelijke scepsis als sneeuw voor de zon. Track 3 is een soort Nine Inch Nails met Jamiroquai, ook leuk. Track 4 is wat Boys Noize, Daft Punk en Shiny Toy Guns. Altijd lekker als je even wat andere artiesten kan noemen om te etaleren dat je een brede smaak en kennis hebt. Kennen jullie Dada Life ook nog? Niet elke track is even leuk en de grote rode stempel met 'gedateerd' ligt binnen handbereik op m'n bureau (bij die Madonna-achtige track 6 begint de stempel zelfs naar me te knipogen), maar ik heb de laatste week albums gehad waar ik een stuk minder plezier aan beleefde. Dit is echt verrassend tof. En dan kan het zomaar gebeuren: een licht overdreven maar zeer vrolijke 5 sterren. Met plezier helemaal afgeluisterd en misschien gaat 'ie later vandaag nog wel een keer aan.

5/10 I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't hate this more than I did. I'm such a Francophile. Repetitive junk, but it helped and booped along as I did my work

Omg these lyrics are so repetitive! Is what I would say if I was stupid and didn't understand music

This was mostly harmless, I guess. And 1001 albums are a LOT, so I don't question that something like this belongs on a huge list of albums I should try to listen to before I die. It certainly beats having to listen to yet another album by Blur or Morissey. Pretty big drop off after the first four or five songs, though. It didn't go on quite long enough to get irritating, but one more generally lame song would have probably knocked this rating down one star. This rating feels like a rounding up of something that's just a little over a 2.5 overall.

This music does not make me lose control.

This album really loves to drag on doesn't it? Just constant pointless meandering of a sound that wasn't even actually that good to begin with. It's not even one of those where it starts with a cool idea and repeats it to death, it starts bad and continues being bad throughout the progression of each song.

good very fun

I'm not really interested in this style. This may be good (or not). I can listen to this but I'm not very excited. It does not help that it is almost one hour long. Two stars are enough.

Hadn't heard of them before and appreciated every moment of not having heard of them. Hella repetitive, a waste of action points I had for today

Should replace my morning alarm sound to the whizzy part of Disco to Disco I wasnt initially that tuned in to it but after reading the top review for this album, about a reviewer and their late best friend Keith, the rest of the album sounded a bit better. Still not my type of electronica but definitely above average. 3.3 perhaps. Also perhaps the first time I give a score that is outside the .5 scale

Never heard of this artist. A little cheesy sounding. It does sound a bit familiar. Cool stuff. Better than the album started.

I was surprised when I saw this came out in 1999, some tracks sounds much more like the early 90s. Otherwise very meh dance music, nothing that would make me want to listen again.

This was a nice surprise! Pretty fun album to listen to that seemed pretty under the radar. It had a pretty cool Sega Genesis soundchip-styled sound to the music that I really dug. 3.5 stars.

Junk.

You can tell this is early electronic music as it seems rather immature in sound, especially towards the beginning with that keyboard sound. I did really enjoy that last my track though and appreciated the track with the nod to the Buffalo Springfield lyrics.

Imagine how much of a dreck the rest of the selection of electronica albums on this is when I say this is a surprise how good it is yet its still a 2/5

I've said it before, the French know electronica. Some pretty good sampling and interesting tracks here, at least the ones that I could play. Its a little silly here and there, and unfortunately its repetitive as heck, although its pretty standard for the genre. Also some of these tracks are just way too long, that being said I understand this is being played in a smokey laser-light filled warehouse full of ravers so I'm sure they were rolling hard to this when it was dropped. Also some of these tracks remind me of Orbital, which is pretty cool. I think if you love the genre, you'll love the album.

This review is full of caveats. I didn’t mind this album! But I only listened to a minute or two or each song and according to Spotify most of the songs weren’t on available. Sounded like a Daft Punk imitation. Overall not as bad as the other reviews say but again… the caveats

really fun to move to

Muy buen funky electro, es antiguo pero novedoso

Some Decent songs on it but overall yer a fine album

Not as much fun as I remember it being, but still an enjoyable slice of Daft Punk-esque dance music.

An early example of EDM being nostalgic? Eighties sounds, nineties production but with an inevitable seventies disco and funk root. Whatever, it works. The cover art represents it perfectly.

French dance beat. it sounded pretty ok.

really dont like this style of music

Still, better than Kanye West.

Too repetitive and boring.

Music to dance to while tripping out on E at 2 am in a club. Honestly, while in this state you could be listening to TV static and not care. I prefer TV static to this any day of the week.

Not great honestly

Despite this not being my style at all, it opened on a more interesting and unique note than I expected, then totally fell flat with monotonous same-same beats through the majority, then tried a slight revival of interest to close. Overall a slight miss for me.

It does have its moments, it grows on you... but it's too long and monotonous

me dan ganas de matarme 0/5

YIKES!

Electro house med disco-vibber. Helt greit, men jeg vil påstå at det er uinteressant og ikke en plass på denne lista verdig. Derfor to stjerner. Top 3: Dreamin’, Take a Little Time, Music Makes You Lose Control

1. dreaming - 1 2. control - 0 3. machine - -1 4. hypnotize - 0 5. zound - 1 6. funk - 0 7. zometimez - 1 8. people - 1 9. body - 1

Interesting synth pop

Really like it. So groovy Ahead of its time

surprisingly good!

хороший приятная музыка, танцевальная может быть немного простоватая, но это тоже музыка, тут все норм есть хиты даже, мне нравится 3.3

Better than expected. Sounds very ahead of it's time, even though the sound production is quite simplistic. I don't mind a little of that "homemade" sound

Very funky, very groovy. Didn't like every song but there were a few bops.

honestly ahead of its time, like it a lot

I mean, what are we doing here? Top 1000 albums of all time? Its largely inoffensive but it feels like i've just walked out of a club with my ears ringing, its not that annoying because I'm still drunk, but i still want it to go away. And it went on for too long, with songs that sounded way too similar. 2/5 I'm not including the remixes over and over again in the ranking, but everything else is there. Dreamin' 6 Music Makes You Lose Control 5 Soft Machine 3 Hypnotise 3 What's That Sound 5 Take a Little Time 4 From: Disco To: Disco 2 Brothers 5 Jacques Your Body (Make Me Sweat) 3 About Funk 2 Sometimes 4 Damaged People 2 Steps Ahead 5 Energy 3 Nancy Jamaica 6

So dang cheesy.

Nah

Rarete rarete

EDM was a bit after my time...a time when I could dance proper to EDM. Now I could maybe last two tracks, then need a breather and a smoke. And no question I'd look like a damn idiot. Pity. This is good.

I think they did a great job at encapsulating the energy or the vibe they were going for, its just not for me personally

- barely had time to listen - fun and funky but nothing made me stop in my tracks - rating: 3/5

Cheap eurotrash electronic music that sounds like a teenager got his first synthesiser. Really difficult to listen to. The music is jarring like nails on a chalkboard and the lyrics nonsensical. I couldn't connect with this in any way.

electronica un poco rara, de esas con muchos instrumentos, muchos samples de voz, sonidos de todo tipo, algunas son funkeras, 2/5

macht spaß zu hören. bissi zu lang das album aber. nach einiger zeit bockt nicht mehr so leider.

64/100. A classic electronic record with plenty of interesting ideas. That said, it ends up feeling quite repetitive, and some of those ideas don’t get developed enough to stay engaging. Still enjoyable in parts.

Bad

This was fine background music. It wasn't bad but I'm not sure it was good. 2.5 rounded down

"This meeting could have been an email" "This really long album could have been a single" They can't all be bangers. Was this even popular in the UK? I don't think I would listen to it voluntarily. Electronic music is fine but uh...

I don't mind the repetitive nature of EDM when I'm dancing, but when I'm just listening to an album straight through it gets a bit boring. Very danceable tracks for the most part, and "Damaged People" while not very lyrically deep, was oddly quite earnest.

Isn't avaibable on Yt

Some tracks were a good vibe, others just felt kinda annoying and repetitive even for me. Still, could be a lot worse.

DNF. Like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Before this albums list, I was unaware the French were so prolific in the electronica. This one is a real toe tapper, I tell ya. Good job, France! Keep this up, and I'll decline calling your tasty bread, 'Freedom Toast.'

Pleasantly surprised by this. Music made me lose control

Enjoyable as a different genre but got old fast.

Reminded me of Girl Talk mashups & Dance Dance Revolution playlists. I like the French house/ daft punk-esque sound. Using the metric of bobbing along, and graded on the curve of never actually hearing this before, I loved this. Had a lot of recognizable bits and samples, and even the ones i didn't know were catchy. Only thing that brought it down is that some songs and the album runtime dragged after awhile and became repetitive. but a little repetition can be fun if you are in the mood. Maybe it's just me but i feel like Max Martin and Katy Perry ripped off the outro to "California Gurls" from "About Funk"

It’s not that it’s not good, it is. But when you hold it up to contemporaries like Daft Punk, it pales in comparison and looks pedestrian. Jacques Your Body is a tune though

Before listening: The first album on this site when both album and artist are new for me. Exciting. Combination of cover and the name is funny. I guess I expect some funky electronica that will be more on accessible side from some edgier contemporaries. Post listening: It was genuinely fun. The best I can say about this album is that it, like nothing else, fills me with nostalgia for the simple times. Wanted to dance the whole time. But everything exists in a context. And in the context of all the electronic acts of the time and albums released 95-01 this is probably the most forgettable. Come on, Discovery was released in 01, the chemical brothers were all over the place, the prodigy, fat boy slim. Honestly I’m not surprised in the slightest that I never heard about this album. Do I regret time spent? Not at all. Will I listen to it in the future? Probably not. Favorite tracks: Music makes you lose control, soft machine Least favorite tracks: MDC, about funk

It’s fine I guess

It’s not bad. Was excited to find an album in a genre/ time I loved but by song two it felt like it was the product of a class on how to make that kind of music.

This is just the epitome of the 90s, some really cheesy bits but fun nonetheless. Deserves 4 stars just for music makes you lose control

Better than expected

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Not a big Dance genre guy, but this was an upbeat, fun, happy album that is so incredibly 90s. Highlights. "Dreamin'" and "Take A Little Time"

The origin of Music makes you lose control(eh this isnt the origin, but rather a sample of a sample lol) that would be later sampled by Missy Elliot, I hear the synth of Sweet Dreams are made of these in Hypnotise The artist is Stuart Price aka Thin White Duke aka Jacques Lu Cont who would later produce albums by Madonna, The Killers, Kane From disco to disco vocals should've been more masked its way too on your face and it's clear that it is a sample slowed down. Sometimes is the highlight of the album, wish the rest of the project had more variety on the lyrics or samples used. I guess this is more about this person who made it in the music industry rather than what the album actually offers.

Its tacky, its corny, but if thats your thing it does it well. Didnt hate it not my style but for what it does its objectifly good

This record is a portal to another time of chrome and optimism. The production is wonderful and the lyrics nonsensical in the best possible way. The cover art looks like something spray painted on the side of a carnival attraction. The kinda music you'd expect to play during an early 2000's snowboarding game that you let play in the background while you do your homework or play with your bionicles, because it's just that rad. Not all these points might sound positive, but they actually are, because it all just fits. Not all music needs to be a high-brow intellectual affaire. This record doesn't try to be deep and it succeeds. For that and just the sheer quality and dancability I'll afford it no less than a 8/10. Fav are Music Makes You Lose Control (which is actually older than the Missy Eliot song, neaT) & Jacques your body

What an incredibly fun album, it almost feels like a parody of itself, but in a good way. I got strangely nostalgic due to this album, but not for music of this era/album, but instead by music made by people who listened to this music

dentro lo que electrónica, no está taaan mal. Pero cada vez que medianamente sentía que lo estaba disfrutando, pasaba a odiarlo en segundos. Y además es muy largo.

Fun album, but very annoying at times. Short songs make it not suck, but long album does make it kinda suck. What are sentences?

A survey of electronic dance music at the time. It’s production is dated but its charm over comes it.

Gooooooofyyy babyyyy

Average 90s techno. That is all. 3.5/10 Top song I guess... Jacques your body makes me sweat

Weak sauce here. Weird choice for the list. Definitely better electronic albums out there. One good song Hey You... even that sounds tired after 27 years. Bonus point for having Nik Kershaw on a track.

Elektronische Musik

Really good, very long though and includes lots of remixes of tracks already in the album

My vibe and 4+

It’s a vibe, but it’s also a bit of a monotonous vibe.

From: Disco to: Disco is the most annoying song I've ever heard. Some interesting samples, but largely forgettable. "Damaged People" felt like a 45 second song stretched to 6+ minutes... terrible way to end the album.

Electro house album pulling from disco, funk, pop, and a bit of acid house. As with many electronic dance records, there’s a few songs that really land, a handful of meh, and a few points where it gets annoying. Overall, this one’s forgettable but it’s not particularly bad.

Been quite a while since I've given a 1 star review! Some of the songs weren't that bad but it's dragged down by some absolutely awful tracks. From Disco to Disco genuinely might be one of the worst songs I have ever heard.

It's a no from me, Les.
