Editorial Reviews

Gigi D'Agostino embodies the Italian "progressive house" sound: completely synthetic, Eurodisco-lite, and peppered with vocals filtered through a Vocoder. This stuff doesn't do so well in the U.S., but it's huge in Europe, where a track like this album's hit, "I'll Fly with You," can top the charts from Spain to the Czech Republic. Unabashedly pop, D'Agostino is probably pooh-poohed by experimental DJs--making him laugh all the way to the bank. He does share one thing with many of today's artier electronic producers: an obsession with the 1980s. A cover of Nik Kershaw's 1984 song "The Riddle" won't raise many eyebrows, but then there's the left-field instrumental "Rectangle," initially released by obscure French electro-pioneer Jacno in the early '80s. Wisely, D'Agostino more or less refrained from tarting up the song's elegant simplicity and tried his darnedest to preserve its hard-to-pin-down melancholia. Even more wisely, he actually uses it twice, first in a medley with "La Passion" and then in a straightforward cover. Can't get enough of a good thing. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and Addictive, October 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: L'Amour Toujours (Audio CD)

After hearing "I'll Fly with You" on the radio and reading other reviews I bought this CD. I was a little hesitant because of so many other DJ-mixed or compliation-like CDs with only one or two great dance songs and a bunch of other teeny-bopper pop, sappy love songs or bad rap, but I bought it anyway with high hopes. I was NOT disapointed. Every song is like the popular catchy singles you hear on the radio. You know, the ones that come out of nowhere and have the techno/synthesized edge to it, but the pop stations play it anyway. Put them all together and this is a great album. Where did this guy come form and why have I not heard of him until now. If i worked out this would be the perfect work-out album. I play it in the office at work and it keeps me energized for the whole day, plus there isn't any profanity to interrupt any important phone calls. My co-workers like it too. This is by far the best impulse buy I've ever made with a CD. I hope yo ulike ti as much as I did.

I am a huge dance techno-music fan. And Gigi's music and voice make me feel like pouring my heart out. On the dance floor. Try hearing this music on open air. Like an outside party. and feel your heart openning to everyone around you. We dont have many male dance techno singers out there. So Gigi you are a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, catchy album to dance to, August 23, 2001

I was already familiar with Gigi D'Argostino with an edited version of "I'll Fly With You (L'Amour Toujours)" on a dance compilation. When I discovered that Gigi had a full length album out I immediately bought it. I loved "I'll Fly With You" the first time I heard it. The female vocals was what caught my ears. The entire cd reminds me of a bit of Eiffel 65 and the Vengaboys but far less annoying. The songs are irresistably catchy and danceable. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the dance cover of Fastball's "The Way". Gigi's cover is far better than the original I think. The only flaw to this album was the dark mix of "Bla Bla Bla" as well as the original version. I didn't think I heard such stupid lyrics as "Bla Bla Bla". That is one song that could have been left off on this otherwise fun album. The remix was annoying and repetitive I thought, more than anything Eiffel 65 could churn out. Otherwise I love the entire cd. I rank this cd as one of my favorite pop album next to Sarina Paris' self-titled debut album this year.
