referencing Picnic Attack, CD, Album, Dig, VER 006

PICNIC ATTACK is like a breath of fresh air in the sometimes stagnant face of house, and even though it was released in 1997, it still sounds new and urgent today. There are the obvious crowd-pleasers like "Disco Cubizm" and "Picnic Attack" that do disco house the right way. But I:Cube's careful merging of tech elements and a solid house beat can't be matched. "Mingus in My Pocket" and "Strange Wax" have darker elements to them, while "Mighty Atom-Sub Aqua" has squelchy electro hints to it. "Yes Mama" is simultaneously deep and twisty. My favorite tracks, "11 Novembre" and "Comme Des Esprits" have a surreal quality that leans towards a moodier place. Absolutely wonderful album all the way through.
