If you're expecting the usual DJ fare with Tiga's debut offer, don't hold your breath. This is funky and dancey, but is in no way a collection of your everyday club tunes. Much in line with his previous works and his arguably most famous electro-inspired "Sunglasses At Night" (a cover of Corey Hart's classic 80's hit), which was a result of his collaboration with Zyntherius, Sexor is very much in the same tune. This album is old school electro and analogue synth with a modern touch of 21st century sensibility. Naming the album after a place in his head he calls Sexor - where nothing goes wrong and everything goes your way - this album is an indulgent view into what goes on in the brilliant mind of Tiga.
`Welcome To Planet Sexor', the album greets us, in the album opener, "Welcome To Sexor", which is swiftly followed by "(Far From) Home which in all honesty is a dead ringer for Electronic's '94 masterpiece "Get The Message". Not a very strong way to start if you take into account that smash hit "You Gonna Want Me" could have easily been track number two, with its worldwide success... or the fact that there are many other songs to come on here that are as good or if not, even better. On the other hand, this is a good start if it makes you sit straight and listen, because from this second track (and the numerous covers he's dabbled with here and otherwise), it's pretty clear this guy's got great taste.
The 80s "(Far From) Home" is then followed by the more modern sounding "You Gonna Want Me" - which might be one of the most highly played tracks at clubs right now. Strong vocals from Scissor Sister's Jake Shears, simple loops and good beats keep this one tip-top, no matter how many times one hears it. Just downright excellent. "High School Jamaican Boa" which comes next measures up well and is a strong song to follow up its predecessor, extending the old school feel this time of Depeche Mode. Next, Madame Hollywood's "Louder Than A Bomb" which is given a minimal treatment from Tiga, is another great cover in this album, most definitely one of my favourites here as well.
Other standouts on Sexor are "Who's That?" and the brilliant cover of "Burning Down The House". The former got me fantically trying to follow the part where Tiga cheekily spells out something that goes V-I-C-K-I-V-A-L-E followed by the question of, `Who's that?'. The latter meanwhile is I would say a `robot sounds' inspired by Kraftwerk track. If not anything else, this one's the most interesting tracks on here.
All in all, Sexor is a pretty nice album from start to finish - simply because there's no denying Tiga is an extremely creative musician. Whether or not these tunes stand the test of time is one thing, but no one can criticize this Montreal-born DJ/producer for lack of originality in his approach to electronic music. Not one to do straight up DJ sets, there are a lot of acapellas and conscious rap here that eventually give fruit to results that impressively push the boundaries for other DJs. If you don't buy the fact that he is creative, the only other possibility to why Tiga makes the kind of music he does is because he's not human, but in fact a love alien from the planet Sexor, where imagination rules the nation and sexy lightning always strikes twice! It's up to you which one you want to believe in.

If you have never heard of Tiga, well, join the club, neither had I. This cd was actually given to a friend of mine, because of his resemblance to the titular dj. My friend wasn't interested so I took it home and put it on, and haven't taken it off since. I've converted lots of friends along the way, including the original guy who demanded it back!
Tiga is clever, and that is what seperates him from the pack. Tounge is in cheek as he takes you through Planet Sexor, a magical place where people can party in peace and freedom. he is funny, sexy and knows how to get your toe tapping. Pick this one up and give it a few spins. (Far From) Home is a knockout.

This is sophisticated , elegant pop from one of the best producers /DJS in the world...it all started with Corey hart?s Sunglasses at night and then, on hit after the other...if your body doesn?t move with "You gonna want me" then you?re probably dead. There are some fillers here too, but don?t bother, it?s definitely fun!! Great remixes check Digitalism?s mix for "Far from Home".
