#2382 Vitalic - Voyager

Vitalic's steely laserbeam pulse continues its inch towards disco/pop - on the instrumental tracks it's totally good. It's a natural evolution of the sound into some well-honed slice of pleasant something. But these guys still haven't found a way to adapt their sound to vocals, to reconcile the subconscious voice of the squishy synths with actual voices, they end up undercutting eachother, sounding like Cut Copy Daft Punk.

Vitalic's sound is a living weapon, a Grandaddy soul-crushed machine melted down into something anonymous and unknowingly angry and sad. Putting actual humans in is always going to be a mistake, a mistake felt more harshly here than usual 3.5/5
