In Flagranti
20 September 2006 :: posted by Rchrd Oh?!
In Flagranti is coming at you at full force. We’ve all been waiting and anticipating. I kind of had my doubts at first, due to the fact that I feel their songs are very hit or miss. At first they seemed a bit too rough for me, then I began to hear the influences I seemed to have ignored before. I heard the No Wave classic sounds interweaved with classic house beats. It was a major brain fart, as though my brain didn’t know in which direction to go. Hate or love? whatever. This is an album that can’t be put on the back burner.
In Flagranti graces a field which Daft Punk, Justice, and other heavy electronic acts have seemed to ignore. You obviously hear the disco influence without a doubt. It doesn’t want to slap you in the face like others try to. It definately has a very punk edge and couldn’t be one more that the other. The sounds of ‘Wronger Than Anyone Else’ seem less pretentious and more flexible to the ears of non electronic music fans. You can hear the real drums and the whole album sounds so vintage yet so fucking fresh that it will make your ears bleed. I can picture myself listening to this album on a table top record player with 70’s gear, in space. It is that out of control.
To tell you that I had a hard time deciding which track to share with you guys. In general I try to find a track that I feel will appeal to most people. With In Flagranti I really had a tough time, with so many choices. With sure dance floor anthems as “We Make Love In A House Made Of Glass”, “Bang Bang” and “Genital Blue Room”. Actually the whole fucking album is full of dance floor anthems. I can’t fucking choose. I would play this album in it’s entirety at Hold Yr Horses actually, if I could get away with it. So here are two songs. You make up your mind.
You will have to find out for yourself, and purchase this album or get it as fast you can!
Classic!

I’ve been listening to “It’s All Rubbish” for a week straight now. I can’t get enough of it.

Correction, they’re not ‘back at full force’. This is a collection of previous 12″ singles + b-sides that they’re attempting to pass of as an LP. Thanks for the effort anyway.

They do have a new album available on Oct. 10th called Wronger Than Anyone Else, don’t know how much of it is new.

‘Wronger than anyone else’ was what I was referring to in my post yesterday. I always consult Discogs.com (the bible of electronic music) in case I’m unclear of any releases. Try it, you’ll likey!!

to jake – what’s the big deal? its normal to release a bunch of 12inches and then put the tracks out together as an album later on, when you can afford it. that’s what dance music artists do, abe duque did that last year, no one was in a tizzy about that, relax!

the tracks also have been altered from the original versions and they segue
this collection is fucking amazing

the segues on my version of the album are really abrupt, was this intended?

Yeah the I didnt actually realise the end of “Teaching children how to swear” was so insane so when I was djing with it, I almost shit myself. It does appear to end abrupt but that may be intended. If so, Rchrd or anyone? Do you have any good in flagranti remixes? I’d be interested to see others treatments on these tracks.
