Music : Sexuality

- The sound of a maturing artist?....I Think not
I knew this album would be seriously over-hyped but i bought it anyway on the strength of amazon customer reviews. All i can say is this, thank god i kept my receipt. A dull, lifeless album, where every song sounds like the other. To be fair i was'nt really a fan of Mr Telliers 'Politics' and the main reason for me buying this album was the inclusion of half of daft punks production genious, but even those tracks moved me very little.
This album really is about as self indulgent as you can possibly get. Instead of getting the triumph i was expecting, I was severely let down in terms of maturing as an artist and in terms of album material, this really shows no progression from his debut material.
Only buy if your a fan, otherwise stay well clear

- Brilliant
Merrel have you ever listened to Tellier before or you just got excited when you heard this album was produced by the guy from Daft Punk?
I almost feel sorry for you dude
Rating: - sexuality with no sex!
If this is Sebastian's idea of sexuality then he is a slow, repetitive and dull lover. This album goes no where interesting apart from the borders of pretension, which wasn't satisfying enough for my tastes. The same tempo was used throughout the album which made feel like i was listening to the same song on repeat. I was excited by the Homen-Christo production on this album but was left feeling that he is not the half behind daft punks success.
This album, in my opinion, is badly titled. It should be called "Limp with no dick" Maybe it's because i am a guy, but i would be interested to know what the ladies thought?
I was very disappointed.
Rating: - A emotive and classy album
This album is absolutely fantastic. I've admittedly been a fan of Monsieur Tellier ever since "La Ritournelle" first graced my ears a few years ago, but now he's delivered his masterpiece with this albums worth of fantastic songs! It's been produced by Daft Punk's own Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo so it's got that way sexy French electro touch to it whilst retaining Tellier's touch of fragility. With this album Tellier's gone from making super cinematic, lush orchestral pop music to achingly romantic, retro-futuristic electronic pop complete with ooahs and aahs dripping in synths and body heat. The best sonic aphrodisiac you'll find all year!
Rating: - Tellier's masterpiece so far
After the huge success of 2005's "La Ritournelle" and the release of the acoustic "Sessions" the following year, to say Sebastien Tellier's next album was eagerly awaited would be an understatement. Now, to say it's a masterpiece would be another one.
Unlike previous releases, it seems the french artist has opted for a far poppier and lightweight approach on this "Sexuality" LP. Produced by half of Daft Punk Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, it bears eroticism and seduction overall its 50 minutes and creaks with potential hit singles. From marvellous opener "Roche", a tale about falling in love in the sun (ahem) to the closing "L'Amour Et La Violence", whose first two minutes would not have been out of place on "Sessions", it's a landmark record meant to soundtrack lovers' nights to the highest point. First single, the lengthy "Sexual Sportswear", provide an 'Air meets Giorgio Moroder' feel, while "Une Heure" or "Elle" are emotive numbers that makes your spine shiver with joy (yes it's that good).
All along, delicate production and soft electronics collide with a sharp songwriting and a skilled musicianship to an effect both striking and addictive.
The first truly great pop album of 2008, alongside Hot Chip's "Made In The Dark" (check the Amazon customer reviews, I could not write a better one).
UPDATE October 2008: I have to add that the Japanese edition of this CD features 3 worthy remixes; "Sexual Sportswear" (Sebastian Remix), "Divine" (Danger Remix) and, most of all, a radical reworking of "L'Amour Et La Violence" by German producer Boys Noize.
