THE REVIEW

The French Laurent Garnier, the ingenious disc-jockey now known all over the world, began his career in the eighties in the clubs of London and Manchester. These years were crucial for his musical development.

After a few EPs, he released his first album 'Shot In The Dark' in 1995, which, despite being his debut, managed to amaze the audience with its qualities. Following this album, he later released Raw Works (a collection of all his classics) and the bitter disappointment of '30' the following year. After a year, he released another collection of his early hits, 'Early Works'.

In 2000, he released what would be his masterpiece, 'Unreasonable Behaviour', which would definitively confirm the sounds that made him famous and presented another side of house music known until then. In fact, what's presented is a degenerate house, with many faces, modern. The entire album is characterized by this sound, by this beat, by this continuous pulse, which is impossible to escape from, which forces you to dance, to move without ever stopping.

Some tracks are true gems of all house music, epic, majestic, dark, cursed, alien pieces like "The Sound Of Big Babou", "Greed" and "Dangerous Drive". I assure you that these three gems alone are worth the purchase of the entire album. Then the record always proceeds with the same atmospheres, sometimes however slightly jazzy like "The Man With Red Face", "Cycles d’Oppositions" and "Last Tribute From The 20th Century".

In short, this work is one of the most innovative in all electronic music, particularly in house, it would be a crime for an enthusiast to miss it.

 "Music at full volume fills the ears. Saturates the air. Blasts. This is 'Dangerous Drive'."
