Pervy electroclash and stylised sleaze pervade this album compiled by Montreal DJ and promoter Frigid. "Kink! by Ace Tone initiates the album, thrusting the listener into the throes of things as a womans moans and screams punctuate this instrumental that sounds like Sweet (à la "Ballroom Blitz) getting down and dirty with the Chemical Brothers. Frigid gets in there next with his self-described cold-blooded sensuality. His "Bedroom Session is followed by Tigas fun but repetitious "Burning Down, with its gleeful chorus: "Londons burning down, down, down, down, down, down, down. New Yorks burning down, down, down, down, down, down, down. One Hit Wonders "Princess Purrolator purportedly tells "the heartbreaking story of a transsexual-goddess-employee-of-the-month and Frigid has deftly altered a few syllables in Lesbians on Ecstasys "Tell Me Does She Love the Bass to tell a bit of a different tale. Les Dandys Fauches "Dandys! is reminiscent of Billy Idol, and Plastic Bertrand (who wrote the classic "Ça Plane Pour Moi) along with Frigid has created "Machine! which consists of electro-rock overtop of a Gary Glitter beat. "Didi Extra by Les Georges Leningrad sounds like a darker take on Lena Lovichs 79 classic "Lucky Number and Poxys "New God conjures the Vapors enduring masturbation ditty "Turning Japanese. It all comes to a head with Eva Stones Siouxie-like "Behind. Derivative? Definitely. But entertaining nonetheless.
