  • Sampledelic 
  • Alternative dance 
  • Electronic pop 
  • Funk 
  • Breaks 
  • Plunderphonics 
  • Dada music

Comment: yeah, this album is strongly recommended to play by emergency cases like airplane crash, hijacking etc. Hopefully the download rate at Archive.org does not correlate with actual incidents though. On the other side, it is fun to imagine while being hijacked by someone you would tell him/her please let me listen to this set. Of course, it could probably water down the perpetrators or...make them even more angry. Similarly to Chenard Walcker's solo efforts it is a dynamic, dance-induced mix of funk, psychedelia, dada music, world fusion. Having no idea is it either an extended team or just another individual embodiment by Chenard Walcker, but it is of a secondary importance though. However, I could identify Chenard Walcker with the protagonist in HP Lovecraft's classy tale The Music of Erich Zann because the French samplecore juggernaut communicates other artists' oeuvre and souls into a thick, hellish groove. Furthermore, it is even more relevant with regard to the intention of this album. All in all, his music used to fascinate and it is the most important thing indeed.
