Details: Product description Alex Gopher ~ You My Baby & I Amazon.ca As a French DJ, Alex Gopher faces inevitable comparisons to Daft Punk, France's principal exporter of urbane electronic disco. While the comparison is not unjust, YouMyBaby&I is more inclined toward organic, sweaty funk than the robotic metronome beats of France's other prodigal sons. Though he is too mannered to indulge in the raucous hip-hop inflections of American electronica icons such as Fatboy Slim, Gopher is nonetheless in hot pursuit of your booty and your libido. This is most obvious on "Party People," a full-on international funk rave-up that is already a dance-floor staple in European clubs. Most of the album, however, is post-rave material. For those that left the rave with a new friend and are looking for seduction aids, there is "The Child," with its insistent bass line and sultry, suggestive vocal sample from jazz great Bessie Smith; for those that left still buzzing and are looking to ease reentry, there is the spacey, hypnotic "Ralph and Kathy," in which a vocoder-voiced astronaut laments, "I have lost control of the shuttle, all the stars are the same," only to be comforted by a soothing female computer. This album is for those who party like Francophones: it's suave, hip, and restrained, but still a slave to the funk. --David Roberts
