Vitalic - Rave Age

Review by Sean Thomas

When Vitalic returned a couple of years back with a louder and tarted up version of his debut, it was so good to have him about again that the music press overlooked it. This time he won't be so lucky.»

french producer vitalic releases his third studio album, 'rave age', on different. vitalic made a name for himself back in the mid-'00s with 'ok cowboy', an album that exemplified that era's taste for in-your-face electro with songs like 'la rock 01' and 'my friend dario.' he's kept up his game since then, releasing a warmly received follow-up album called 'flashmob' in 2009. 'rave age' is his first release in more than two years and it shows him staying true to form, with his trademark fuzzy synths and stomping drums. showcasing a myriad of talent roped in to give this album added punch, it features the vocal efforts of joe reeves (shit disco) on 'fade away' and 'next i'm ready'. french starlets owlle and rebeka warrior (sexy sushi) appear on 'under your sun' and 'la mort sur le dancefloor'. mickael karkousse from belgium electro rockers, goose, lends his skills to 'rave kids go'.
