Title:
Audio, Video, Disco
Label:

Format:
12"
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
BEC 5161059
"Audio, Video, Disco" means "I hear, I see, I learn" in Latin. It's the second single from the full-length album (BEC 5161064). Maybe not the easiest one, but due to its peculiarity, the band felt it was a natural choice. Its runs at 152 bpm, which is quite fast, but still delicate. It's also the longest track on the album. An ideal conclusion for the album and for their future live shows. Includes a download card for mp3 version.

Because Music presents a brand-new album from
Justice
, the French duo formed by
Gaspard Augé
and
Xavier de Rosnay
-- the band of a whole generation. When the two friends were still bright students in graphic design, in 2003 they made Justice a place to experiment a hybrid genre between music and image, which blends pop and electronic borders, and showcases the talents of two fascinating, passionate pop culture craftsmen, bored with hierarchy. They met
Pedro Winter
, who had just founded his label Ed Banger Records -- he immediately signs them after listening to "We Are Your Friends," which, with its joyful and vitamin-enriched electro beats combined with exhilarating voices, became the hymn of a whole generation and one of the most important tracks of the year 2000, celebrating a reconciliation of pop music and the dancefloor. It was awarded an MTV Video Award in 2007, bringing about the famous live TV appearance with
Kanye West
outraged that his million-dollar clip was outclassed by a home-made bomb. (Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Justice, Ed Banger and
So_Me
became a constant source of inspiration for Kanye and his superstar rapper colleagues. Kanye even employed So-Me as director for the video for his hit song "Good Life"),
Jay Z
will use "D.A.N.C.E" for his next album. From now on, the duo's ascent was constant and then lightning struck: remixes for
N.E.R.D.
,
Britney Spears
,
Franz Ferdinand
,
U2
,
Daft Punk
,
Lenny Kravitz
and an EP in 2006 (
Waters Of Nazareth
) defining the "Justice sound," this famous ultra-powerful compression of pop and baroque melodies, both dark and threatening; lightning and animative; and above all, the famous Justice image, the cross from which an earlier version figures on the first EP. 2007 was the explosion that would turn the duo into the emblem of a whole generation: their first album, anticipated like the Messiah, swept everything away as an epic soundtrack and was more than a magnificent synthesis of our time. 800,000 sales worldwide and 4 years later, the album is considered a mainstay of the 2000s -- one of the few who bridged the gap from the Pitchfork world to MTV without losing its credibility. Housed in a mindfuckingly deluxe gatefold sleeve.

This track is taken from
Justice
's
Audio, Video, Disco
(BEC 5161059/5161064), featuring
Morgan Phalen
from
Diamond Nights
. "We wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like "come to the dancefoor,' but without pretending to be
Bob Dylan
, either. Our lyrics are always a bit quirky. If they sound good and there's a little edge or something fun to them, we're happy." Two tracks ruined by
Rick Rubin
, plus the "Video Village" remix. Includes download card.

2011 repress.
Justice
's highly-acclaimed debut album and the most essential party record of 2007. French-only vinyl version, in deluxe gatefold sleeve. Retreating to their underground post-nuclear shelter/studio, French duo
Gaspard Augé
and
Xavier de Rosnay
worked on their first album as if their lives depended on it. The result is a mind-fuck of an album that proves that Justice's unique talent is to be found where least expected. Take for example "Let There Be Light" and its strident, angry electro, driven by a jabbing bassline; "D.A.N.C.E," a pure piece of vicious house sung innocently by a choir of children; "Newjack," a funky parody of the opulent times of the French Touch; "Phantom," taking over where "Waters Of Nazareth" left off to drift towards "Phantom Pt. II" and its head-swirling disco violins; "Valentine," an erotic, melancholic nursery rhyme, like a tribute to
Vladimir Cosma
and "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy," a pure electro-funk track where the sexy
Uffie
plays more than ever the cheeky Lolita. Justice have thrown established rules out the window (the notion of good and bad taste, the thin line between underground and pop music, the pigeon hole labeling between rock and electro, etc.) with a fantastic talent for synthesizing and mixing their influences with total candor, be it the cosmic disco of
Larry Levan
or Vladimir Cosma's panty-wetting romantics,
Camel
's prog rock or the anxious theme of
Goblin
for
Dario Argento
, to the flashy funk of the
Brothers Johnson
or "ABC" by the
Jackson 5
.
Cross
isn't a collection of random dancefloor singles.
Cross
is for listening at home or in clubs.
Cross
is a link between pop at its purest and experimental music.
Cross
brings together hardcore elements and cheese.
Cross
makes the Goths link arms with the rave kids. A generational manifest, ideally positioned on the side of the dancefloor,
Cross
, insolent with youth, is a testimony that the French electro scene is healthier than ever.
