GOLDEN BOY WITH MISS KITTIN
Or (Emperor Norton)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

Although Miss Kittin purrs "relax and enjoy," there is something ominous in her introduction. Soon Golden Boy's electropop beats start and Europe's dancefloor chanteuse of the moment is dispensing her lines. Deadpanning like a frigid computer in true neutral Swiss fashion - anyone remember Telex? -, Miss Kittin injects just a little female sensuality for an unsettling mixture. She's got the futuristic retro thing happening (microwave Barbie meets Barbarella), and damn if it doesn't do the trick. Golden Boy presses all the right pilfering buttons (New Order, etc.) in creating the perfect runway soundtrack.
