Weird what albums you assume you've heard but never did.
If you've only heard Da Funk and Around the World, you'll know roughly what to expect here, but understand that those are the most lithe, muscular bits on an otherwise skeletal album that runs very minimal in places, very repetitive in others, and rides extremely basic, perfectly crafted analog-sounding synth lines really hard. There's something primitive about this - its electronic music, but you can feel the synthesizers working together, you can feel the machine moving - this wasn't made in a computer. Or if it was, it was done in the spirit of more raw, primitive electronic music.
If you come in expecting bangers like the two main singles, you're going to be bored. If you're willing to roll with some expansive, minimal house stretches and endless, blistering techno knob-turning, willing to let the whole huge, awkward, lumbering thing breathe and move, its actually pretty good as new school old school electronic fuckery 3.5/5
