Tiga - Sexor

aww what the hell I bought it anyway!

Three years ago, Montreal DJ Tiga was perhaps the single hottest figure in the burgeoning electroclash scene, a cult star namechecked by everyone from Fischerspooner to, inevitably, Madonna. Had "Sexor" been released back then, its '80s synths, house beats and deadpan camp may well have sounded fresh and cutting edge. Unfortunately, the three indulgent years it took to make this record have seen dozens of rivals release records with similar influences, sometimes - as with Scissor Sisters and Goldfrapp - with more panache and heart.
A shame, because taken on its own merits, "Sexor" is one of the more diverting and consistent dance records of recent times, and certainly one of the most fun.
