Review by dj.paws Apr 16, 2004
I can't wait to spin this one live. I'd have to say that it's probably one of the most unique tracks that I've heard, since I got into these ingenius Frenchmen, together or solo. Hell, that goes the same for most other records I've heard. This is one of those "holy grail" cuts, for me..just listen and you'll understand.

This song just does you right, with the funky looped keys and riffs, and a real floor pounding beat. It's like turntablist vs. disco, with scratches that shuffle the phrasing up divinely. All together, a real five star release.

My only complaint is that the vinyl itself isn't as heavy or thick as some of my other 12" cuts..and didn't come in its own sleeve.

Seven years on, if somebody utters the name to me, I still get excited by it. In a review at the time I remember the quote 'sounds like nothing else on earth' and it's still true. A tremendously funky but banging live-sounding beat which could I could listen to for hours combined with alien cut-up George Benson riffs and scratches take you somewhere most house music doesn't come close to. An all-time French classic.

any fans of french-disco should hunt this record down. crazy guitar loops scratched and chopped up over a hard as hell 909 beat. bangalter at his peak.
