The album "30" is nothing like Garnier's debut album "Shot In the Dark".
While the latter is an album of traditional hardhouse and a few ambient
excursions, "30" crosses several boundaries by including both ambient,
ambient techno, acid, hardhouse, funk, and so on. It's obvious that Garnier
has developed. However, the mix of different styles makes the album very
difficult to listen to IMHO. Not just that it's very unlikely that you will
like all tracks, the album doesn't flow well either. I would have preferred
something like "Shot In the Dark" again, which is one of the best hardhouse
/ techno albums in my collection.
Having said that, the album is still worth buying for the track "Sweet
Mellow D" alone. I think it's the most wonderful song I've heard this year.
There is also a limited edition CD in a special package and with an ambient
bonus track, "Last Winter In Alaska".
BTW, what do you other people who have this album say about Garnier's
attempt to be cool by sampling phrases like "acid will stay alive" (in
"Flashback"), "she's nothing but a hoe" (in "The Hoe") etc.? I think he's
just making a fool out of himself. The same goes for Daft Punk. They're
French, for God's sake... ;)
