5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Awesome., June 7, 2005

Vitalic's OK Cowboy is a great upbeat, fun and generally awesome album. If you're happy and you know it, bob your head. It starts off with Polkamatic which is a very cool, almost Popcorn-esque song that really only gets you started.

Throughout this entire album I felt myself almost infused with the energy of Vitalic's playing. It is a very cool sound, and if you liked Daft Punk's Discovery, even more so if you like Daft Punk's Human After All, I really think you'll love this album. I really hope to see more great stuff from this band in the future.

Songs I loved:
Polkamatic
Poney Part 1
Wooo
La Rock 01
Poney Part 2

Definitely check this out! Hopefully a cheaper version will come to Amazon and you can buy it at a regular price, because this is definitely worth the buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best records of the year, May 4, 2005

This review is from: Ok Cowboy (Audio CD)

The heavy synth-based swagger of these trashy tunes makes this one of the best electro albums I've heard in some time. "La Rock 01" and "My Friend Dario" are the best-known tracks - the former building into a steady, unwavering grind, the latter much more pop-based. Other delights include the immensely catchy "Wooo" and the poignant swirl of "The Past". Vocoders proliferate, but they're generally used in a creative way. There's a certain sense of postpunk murk in the use of synthesizers to only vaguely suggest melodies. This is great stuff.

Place this CD in your car stereo.

Hit the highway, drive south across the USA, blast across the fence at the Mexican border, up your speed to 120 and barrel through to Central America. Attach rocket boosters and hop the Panama Canal. Zing through South America, attach hydrofoil to bottom of vehicle. Race across Antarctica and into Africa. Throw on sunscreen, up speed to 200, and plow into France.

Stop the car, say hello to Vitalic (Pascal Arbez), and thank him for giving you the most ingenious, ecstatically ass-kicking electro-techno-whatever-pop album in recorded history.

Don't stay too long bothering Vitalic. Go home, cowboy.
