LAURENT GARNIER Tales Of A Kleptomaniac (2009 UK 12-track CD album - Only a very small handful of DJs and producers have the ability to transcend all styles and genres, rising above fleeting trends and cliques creating their very own sonic landscapes. Laurent Garnier is one of them. His latest opus, 'Tales of a Kleptomaniac', pushes his already vast musical boundaries further than ever before, showcasing a devilish diversity that has made him one of dance music's greatest assets. Fromthe album's opening track, Laurent takes no prisoners with block party chants, handclaps, thundering 808s, lilting horns, screaming guitars, cut up vocals, tribal percussion, film noir soundtrack vibes, huge drums, crushing bass and laidback twisted jazz flavours. Enhanced with the opendisc format that gives the listener an extra full 55 minutes of original unreleased music composed by Laurent.)
