Upholding France's reputation for effortless style, French trio Stephan Haeri, Christophe Héitier and Fabrice Dumont's debut album Genetic World combines the best of Air and Daft Punk to come up with the ultimate in dance-floor elegance. Intoxicating concoctions of hazy Riviera sways, seductive Billie Holiday style vocals and dreamy electro; "Smile" and "Yesterday Was a Lie" are both so comatosed that they can only be fully appreciated pool side and horizontal. Mildly more energetic, but still imbued with an incredibly sunny disposition, "Breathe"'s watery house and "Love Can Damage Your Health"'s jazzy backbeat and shuddering James Bond strings, conjure romance so vividly that it's almost possible to make out the distant sound of the sea gently lapping a deserted South of France beach. Undertandably then, the sledgehammer break beats and sociological ra! ps that drive "Free" and "Da Hoola"'s electro-pop, though both ingenious and brilliant, are more than a little conspicuous against the rest of the album's carefree ambience. Even so, they're not enough to upset Télépopmusik's sensual flow. --Dan Gennoe
