Stereo Total's MY MELODY marks an advance in the eclectic Euro-pop duo's postmodern art by making it even more of a musically diverse pop-culture splatter painting, while still maintaining an indelibly catchy core. The group's blend of 1960s sunshine pop, early-'80s new wave, traditional French pop, and kitchen-sink experimentalism is rounded out with off-the-wall sampling.
Whether boosting from Parliament ("Beautycase"), covering Serge Gainsbourg ("In/Out"), or working up their own unclassifiable originals, Stereo Total gathers up all the elements of a sprawling pop universe under one neon-colored umbrella. While the band's cartoonish aesthetic might come off as cutesy, there is enough risk-taking here to give the music integrity, making MY MELODY a fun and highly recommended recording.
Editorial Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Half-trashy, half-cheesy kooky art-disco from seriously weird female-fronted French/German band...
Melody Maker (07/18/2000)
...crafted songs out of junk found in the garage....manages to be fun rather than 'fun'...
Magnet (01/01/2000)
3 out of 5 - ...Their songs tight and exuberant, their adventurous spirit novel and genuine, Stereo Total continue to prove themselves far more than a kitschy novelty act.
