This is a turning point for the parisian boutique label. As Michel Gaubert's 6th contribution to Colette, here, we see his taste transcend from his previous heavily electro compilations to a newer, ecclectic (but still fashionable) sound. Colette No.6 is playful and sweet, starting off with "Sister Woo" by Jonny Trunk. The beat goes uptempo as tracks from very chic groups like Nouvelle Vague (with their rendition of "Too Drunk To Fuck,") The Rapture, and remixes of Franz Ferdinand's "Dark of the Matinee" takes the mood up to a dancy scale. It also includes Hot Chip's remix of Scissor Sister's "Take Your Momma Out" and one of their own's "Keep Falling." Surely, this is a new sound experience to all Colette fanatics, as we listen to these tracks played in major shows in Paris, Milan, NY, and London by the different designers during the previous Fashion Week.
Michel Gaubert's done it again. The Thrill of Colette is definitely thrilling, and fun, fun, fun! Features new artists like Brooks, The Go Find, Psapp, The Mamas and the Papas, and old-time favorites of the label like TV on the Radio, and LCD Soundsystem. The Thrill of Colette is quirky, nostalgic and as always, definitely classy and fashionable. it takes wild turns from the upbeat "Paris Hilton" by Mu, and then suddenly tuning to a waltzy "The Ugly and the Beautiful" by The Real Tuesday Weld. The Thrill of Colette is so far the Paris Store's craziest compilation to date. And it never fails in giving us that High-Fashion, Parisian feeling whenever we listen to it.
This compilation is really excellent. It's the darker side of Kitsune compared their previous compilations. It starts off with the playful $100 Version Francaise by Captain Comatose, Eeeaow will make you crazy. Then it moves further to a darker mood with Italian Fireflies with its low-tech, synthesized groove. As you go further, you won't get bored with a variety of French House and Synth Pop tracks from Cosmo Vitelli and The Whitest Boy Alive. This compilation screams music inspired by night-time wanderings | ||||
