Artist:	DAT POLITICS
Title:	Villiger
Label:	A-MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	A 015CD

"Apparently they're an all-laptop quintet from Lille, France (although I could be wrong about the geography), borne out of the ashes of Sub Rosa recording act/post-rock entity Tone Rec. This, their third release (see Tracto Flirt on Skipp as well as a Fat Cat Split Single with Process) works it wisely, mixing the glick-beats with the glitch-melodies and sounds, with (what I'm told is) a sexy live show on the festival circuit. The first of certainly a growing wave of contemporary 'computer bands', you really can't go wrong with just about anything on this disk. I suggest investigating now to avoid imminent embarrassment later." -- Hrvatski. Limited stock.

Title:	Plugs Plus
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 006CD

"Plugs Plus is the fourth and new album of the computer quartet Dat Politics. Based in the historic industrial city of Lille, their cheap laptops generate more than ever some epileptic micro-rhythm escorted by childlike acid melodies. But the real novelty resides in the warped and distortioned singing exercises which are this time mixed-up to their digital hymns. Help in their experiments by some protagonists of the international electronica jet-set, as Blectum From Blechdom, Matmos, Kid 606, Felix Kubin or Lesser, Dat Politics flash by the way of music but also texts some pixellised and pop snapshot focused on failed flirt and gastronomy,?After work with innovative and respectable labels as A-Musik, Mille Plateaux, Skipp or Tigerbeat6, now the laptop-band collaborates with the electro-trash label from the Berlin-based trio Chicks On Speed to diffuse their domestic and terribly exotic new sonic adventures. Funny, futuristic and radical: This is future electronic pop!"

Title:	Go Pets Go
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 015CD

"The French northern electronic trio Dat Politics is back with a fifth and new album. Taking up again the pop elements of their previous release Plugs Plus (CSD 6cd), Dat Politics confirm their attachment to naive and hypnotic melodies and propose some complex and efficient digital compositions. Go Pets Go is without any doubts the most complete album of the trio, gathering all the sonic facets from their previous works: a digital folk touch supported by the collaborations of Kevin Blechdom and Nathan Michel, some dreamt and cynical lyrics, a couple of Nintendo techno mini-hits and compositions based on insects and pets recordings...."

Title:	Wow Twist
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 031CD

"Their third album for Chicks On Speed Records (and the sixth album in six years of existence) DAT Politics are more fun and exciting than ever. With Wow Twist they finally capture the pure raw euphoria of their live sets and confront glitch, power pop, electronica and punk on their most song-oriented and fresh album to date. The French laptop trio make their album sound mature and pop, without affecting their taste for the playful electronic odysseys and obviously, the eleven titles of Wow Twist possess a new knack for perversely catchy hooks."
