I saw it in Selectadisc in December when I was broke though, it might still be there.
Even my dad likes this! He likes the Junior Boys too, world's least likely microhouse fan aargh.

In my head there's a compitition going on between Ada and Vitalic. Just because they are two dance albums i got really recently. I think Ada is winning but they are both great great great.

The section where that single chiming chord comes in, followed by bass and a stuttering beat, followed by the chord transmuting into a harpsichord... is not only utterly thrilling and heartbreaking, but strikes me as possessing a quality of defiance, a challenge to how we tend to think about dance music - sort of like deliberate sonic or contextual contrasts in sample-based music but operating at a much subtler level.

The peak moments of her set for me were "Lucky Charm", "The Red Shoes" and "Each & Every One".

On the Areal thread I equated her repackaging of 3.5 tracks to laziness/complacency. If ever I, personally, were given the enviable opportunity to release an actual album, I hope I would have the patience to increase the ratio of "GREAT" vocal/mellower/softer instrumental tracks to average tracks rather than squander said opportunity by repackaging one third and pedestrianizing another.
(For example, Ada's two 2rabimmel... contributions alone suprass more than half the tracks on Blondie.)

I know. This is one of those rare albums that makes all kinds of people stop and ask what it is.

I'd hope this will receive more 'widespread interest' when she (potentially) blows it out of the water with her next record!
This is unstoppable to the half-way mark, goes quite a bit pear-shaped after that but is so charming that it's really very forgiveable. The first two minutes of "Cool My Fire (I'm Burning)" are such sweet, unbearable tension. I feel like I've had this album a year already.

i love this album too much. cant believe it took me 2 years to buy it. both cover versions are awesome (esp the blindhouse one). i think "who pays the bills" is the only tune i dont like
