Title:	The Sound of the Big Babou
Label:	F COMMUNICATIONS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	F 111 CD

"Eagerly awaited, 'The Sound Of the Big Babou' meets all its expectations, and sets the standard very high for techno single of the year. The now legendary efficiency of Laurent Garnier's track is underlined by a stunning production, both apocalyptic and sober. This track just won't let you breath, until the final climax. On the B side, 'Sore Fingers' was was written for Laurent Garnier's live shows last year, where it caused mayhem. It features a wild effort by percussionist Daniel Bechet (son of Sidney) whose tribal moods flow on a path of splendid strings."

Title:	Unreasonable Behaviour
Label:	F COMMUNICATIONS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	F 115 CD

"With the release of Unreasonable Behaviour, Laurent Garnier has produced his most accomplished and personal album to date. This surprising record does not shy away from exploring more diverse and tormented sounds than we have previously been accustomed to in his work. The jazzy echoes of 'City Sphere' and 'The Man With The Red Face', are undoubtedly a direct link with Garnier's live experience, the saxophonist playing on these tracks, Philippe Nadot, accompanied Laurent Garnier on his tour. The first single released from the album, 'The Sound Of Big Baboo', and also 'Dangerous Drive' are exercises in driving techno in a similar vein to 'Crispy Bacon', and are sure not to disappoint the dancefloor. Other tracks such as 'Communication From The Lab' and 'Downfall' are as haunting as the soundtrack to a terrifying thriller, as with the surprising 'Greed'. And of course we can discover in tracks such as 'Last Tribute To The 20th Century' and 'Cycles D'Opposition', Garnier's love for the American productions that have been an inspiration to him for so long. With this third ambitious album, Laurent Garnier proves that he is not only a great DJ but more importantly a musician apart."

Title:	The Man With The Red Face
Label:	F COMMUNICATIONS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	F 119 CD

"The second track taken from Unreasonable Behaviour, the perfect fusion of deep Detroit techno sounds and organic free jazz screams of the saxophone. A furious mixture of melodic Electro grooves and abstract acoustic invasion. The Svek remix brings peaceful deep soundscapes, minimal and low beat technohouse drum patterns -- a beautiful jazzy and dubby mix by members of this upcoming Swedish label. Funk D'Void have chosen a futuristic electrojazz treatment with a clever combination of beats and electro pulsations in a pure abstract style."

Title:	Back To My Roots EP
Label:	INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	IV 016EP

"Laurent Garnier delivers his first dancefloor 12" release in five years, Back To My Roots EP, released on Âme and Dixon's Berlin house imprint, Innervisions. This release represents a truly inspirational night that saw Laurent Garnier's welcome return to the club that represents Berlin's electronic music scene to perfection -- Panorama Bar. It's 5a.m., and Garnier, five hours since his set began, is supposed to finish and let Dixon take over. But, the intensity and energy asks him to play on. So he does, for another three hours of magic. 'During that time I played the demo mix of the "Back To My Roots" track, which I'd made that week. Dixon jumped on me to ask what it was. He said that he loved the sound of it and asked me what I wanted to do with it, mentioning that he would really like to release it on Innervisions. I went back home on the Monday and worked straight away on another track, which I named "Panoramix" (a tribute to that night at Panorama). I sent a very rough demo to Dixon via download and received a text five minutes later saying that he wanted it. It happened really fast without me having any plans at all.' - Laurent Garnier. Closely guarded within the Innervisions and Garnier camp, Back To My Roots EP, goes well beyond the hype that it is naturally receiving. An excellent pairing brings one of the most highly revered electronic artists in the world, together with one of the most highly revered house music labels in the world. It works. 'When Laurent played "Back To My Roots" at Panorama, I immediately had the feeling that I was listening to a classic. It's a very unique, timeless production. Not hip, not modern, not old school. It is also a 12 minutes journey that is worth to play for that long. We are very happy that Laurent told me straight away in the club that he would be cool with releasing this EP on our label.'"

Title:	The Cloud Making Machine
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 9282CD

"The Cloud Making Machine is surely Laurent Garnier's most personal album to date. Garnier expresses a broader range of musical styles on his 4th album, revealing more intimate, emotional and mature material than ever before. Enlisting the help of several musicians for this new masterpiece -- including Scan X (guitar & mix), Bugge Wesseltoft (keys), Dhafer Youssef (oude & vocals), Sangoma Everett (vocals), and more -- The Cloud Making Machine is defined through these partnerships and Garnier's experiences since his last opus, 2000's Unreasonable Behaviour."

Title:	Retrospective
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MUTE 9327CD

Double CD with rare versions, unreleased tracks and classics from an exceptional career. "Twelve years since he founded the F Communications record label, Retrospective presents a selection of Laurent Garnier's best works since 1994. Including songs from his albums, 'classic' tracks dedicated to the dancefloor and his own remixes and reworks that friends have done. This is an album which reflects the artist -- it's demanding, passionate, dare-devil, gifted, curious and versatile. The expression 'one of the best DJs in the world' does not do this man justice. He is a one in a million fighting spirit, and has been fighting for over 15 years to get great music to the public."
