Vitalic - Flashmob

Review by Sean Thomas

Whether or not it is as defining a release as OK Cowboy even feels somewhat incidental in the end, as Flashmob is easily the most enjoyable, addictive, air-keyboard-inducing electronic record that the year is likely to produce. »

initial orders of the cd are packaged in deluxe digipack. after a 4 year break, vitalic is back with 'flashmob', a brand new album. comprising 13 razor sharp nuggets of perfectly formed, ruthlessly effective electro, it is a stunning return to the musical landscape, and one that is certain to knock everyone for six. although noticeably warmer and sweatier in nature, his signature stamp is all over the record, from the luscious 'poison lips', a soaring disco tune buoyed aloft by cooing female vocals, to the infectious first single 'your disco song', propelled ahead by synths and razor sharp beats, and the vicious, deliciously dirty aural assault of 'terminateur benelux'. and then there's the epic, spacious title track, which sees vitalic stepping up a gear and creating quite possibly the most epic, dancefloor igniting track in his oeuvre yet, a brilliant shift in gears from his previous track record and a radical quantum leap ahead from his peers.
