#1475 Lindstrom & Christabelle - Real Life is No Cool

Lindstrom's still on top of his game as space disco overlord, and I like that he's branching out, getting a dedicated vocalist to lead his toothsome synth spirals. I just don't know if Christabelle's a good choice, she's too typically icy, too cloyingly exotic, never building any real rapport. That arch little title says it all, the album creates a space populated by pretentious twits - it's nowhere I want to hang out 2.5/5
