Singing in German, French, English, Japanese, and Italian,
Stereo Total are an über-hip, ultra-Euro
electro-pop group from Berlin, who are capable of inducing massive booty wiggling. Infectious in the extreme, this foursome employs brash
pop grooves, crunchy
techno beats, and kitschy, cheese-ball lyrics to create what they like to call "sissy disco." On
Juke-Box Alarm, the song
"Heaven's in the Back Seat of My Cadillac" sounds like Thai hooker karaoke, while numbers like
"Touche-Moi," "Party Anticonformiste," and
"Nouvelle Vague" are fun, fabulous, and chic like some flashy, coiffed French maiden. This is a party platter that will keep things going until the wee hours. [
Juke-Box Alarm was reissued in 2006 by
Kill Rock Stars.]
