< Sebastian Tellier, Mr Oizo & SebastiAn
Steak
words by Dean Driscoll
This soundtrack to Mr Oizo’s own movie (following Daft Punk’s ‘Electroma’) is made entirely of new compositions contributed by Oizo and cohorts Tellier and SebastiAn: twenty-one vignettes largely reminiscent of John Carpenter and Giorgio Moroder’s 80’s film scores. It’s all funky Moog-based fun, though with so many tracks coming in at the sub-2-minute mark you are left wishing the ideas were fleshed out into more fully-formed songs: when they are – as with Tellier’s brilliant ‘Hashis Vers’ – verging on brilliance.
Latest Reviews
Mike Relm - Spectacles
Let the face furniture of San Fran disco-er Mike Relm fool you. Forget that he’s named his second album after his eyewear.
Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
