This is the third LP from French musician Vitalic, titled rather awkwardly Rave Age. Now 37 years old, and 12 years on since his debut album Okay Cowboy – has much really changed?
Each song thrown out over any dance floor would no doubt cause mayhem, but set aside one another in an album format it makes little sense. ‘Rave Kids Go’ is interesting, and perhaps the only glimmer of something new. ‘Fade Away’ is his finest hour, sounding slightly 80’s with a throwback vocal effect.
The French are superior providers of dance floor bangers - think Daft Punk, Justice or more recently David Guetta (before he sold his soul to ‘the man’). Vitalic is no different; however, Rave Age is in no way daring, just more of the same formula repeated to a rather stale effect.
