True Review, June 23, 2003
This review is from: Positions (Audio CD)
Before you even consider buying this album be aware its like nothing you've ever heard before. This is the definition of a concept album. Its more or less a new style of music, it bridges rock, electronica, r n b, jazz, tradition french music and ends up like an Electroclash album done to perfection without annoying repeatitiveness of normal electroclash.
You only really need to look at the names of contributors to know how good this thing is going to be. I discovered a single of Metric System lying around in a record store for 50 pence and thought go for it (im a placebo fan). I can tell you that that track, like every other track on here, is perfectly unique and cannot be compared to anything else. Each track is totally different and yet they fit so well together.
I advise you to get this album if you like new and interesting music. Its as not pretentious as Warp Records etc. and there are few blips and beats of normal experimentia to speak of. It also deserves more prestige than some concept albums i.e. Maxim's "Hell's Kitchen" (which makes a good partner to this btw).
It is the epitome of style and sexy chíc with a nice stop off at deviant/twisted electronica.

Mind stretching, April 22, 2004
This review is from: Positions (Audio CD)
Dimitri Tikovoi is a master of his art - this is an amazingly versatile album stretching electo dance with curiously sexy (and hardcore) lyricics - a definate buy for 2004. You only have to look at the artists that have worked on it to appreciate the level of cred ;-)
