This is truly a seminal (french) house record. Its spacy and dubby feel sounds fresh 9 years later. Although some tunes are (still) great for mixing at the parties, while some are perfect to be enjoyed in your household, the entire release has a fluid form which can be consumed in one take over and over again.

The video for the tune "Prix Choc" by Etienne De Crécy is my favourite video of all times. And I saw it only once. Imagine this sexy tune played to judo fight filmed from various angles with a hi-speed camera and played in slow motion. A total trip!

This compilation has converted an ex-colleague of mine into the world of house and electronic music. Go figure! :-D

This was when the French invasion of quality dance music was really beginning to take over in the late 90s. This seminal release was at the forefront. Although a compilation of different artists, it sits together as a perfect artist album, encompassing some beautiful French disko, quirky chillout & downtempo and lovely slow groovers. Superb, inventive dance music by the French.

It seems I will never understand the concept of this project.
By the name of the album and the titles of the track, I first thought that De Crecy and friends would use old commercial samples to make music. But that's not it. The only "lyrics" never match the title of the tracks (apart from "Prix Choc" maybe, but that might be a joke for weed smokers). The interludes are part of french translated movies/series and do not provide a continuous linear comprehension for the listener.
"Super Discount" is considered by many as a classic part of the emergence of the french touch. It might be right about the music, but not about the concept.
"Le Patron Est Devenu Fou" and "Prix Choc" were both released as singles. "Prix Choc" was slightly modified for a 7" (neat amelioration in the bass and the echo), but not for a 12" (Why?).
The second volume of "Super Discount" was released in the fall of 2004.
