I first came into contact with Justice when I saw their video for D.A.N.C.E. on MTV. The video clip with the dynamic t-shirts is cheerful and beautifully crafted and proves to me that Internet has not killed the videostar quite yet. Then I saw that friends were playing the record on their last.fm account and thought it was time to check out the whole album. The album title †and the dark cover make it look like a death metal band but looks are deceiving. Cross is the debut album from Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay who are managed by the folks of Daft Punk.
This is one of the few electronic albums in my collection that I like from start till finish. It is dark, distorted, loud, upbeat, cute (D.A.N.C.E. is the most cheerful song on the album, making it the perfect summer single), mythical, grande, getyourfeetonthedancefloor, great running/dish washing/treadmill food.
I cannot properly describe it, I am not a music journalist, I just want to tell everyone this is the best album I’ve heard for a while so “GET IT!”
Ben al een tijdje nieuwsgierig, misschien dat dit bericht mij over de drempel helpt ;)
Tijd om de hongerige nieuwsgierigheid te stillen! Ik moet zelf nog steeds Digitalism uitchecken, daar hoor ik ook veel goeds over.
Damn, thanx voor Justice, ik ga hem vanavond eens wat rustiger checken, maar de eerste tonen waren reeds veelbelovend! Dank voor het luisteren ook naar mijn geklaag :)
Bezig met een eerste luisterbeurt. Eerste indruk: Ze lijken de hype waardig.
got †, love it, will play it till my ipod melts
Fortunately my iPod is repeat-melt-proof. I try to listen to Fischerspooner or Aux Raus in between to give my ears a little something else.
nice album but the Digitalism debut is way better: more dance, less rock. try that one!
I listened to it yesterday but I prefer Justice over Digitalism. It could be due to the fact that I usually listen to rock music instead of dance music though :)
