The Hacker – the next step of new wave (CD)

I found this one at Renaissance Montréal (again, what can I say) for 2.00 $, cheaper than a cold beer. After Miss Kittin & The Hacker disbanded, I was wondering what senior Michel Amato (The Hacker himself) is doing these days. This album came out in 2000, it`s a little dated. I do a quick search on www.discogs.com and he`s still active putting out singles and mixes. There`s 19 tracks on this electrowave mix CD. It offers a nice selection of international bands / artists: Dopplereffekt, Le Car, The Silver Locusts, Plasma Co, I-F, Oxia (two tracks), Perpects, Artist Unknown, Japanese Telecom, The Hacker (three pieces), Alden Tyrell, The Advent, Acrosome, Adult, Rude 66, and, Random Factor. The whole enchilada flows well together. An impressive mix of electro, electroclash, techno, electronic music, and synthpop. Now you`re wondering what it sounds like? Think of bands like: Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Ladytron, old Depeche Mode, Human League and Kraftwerk. You get the drill.
