Review

After three installments of its Source Lab compilations, the French label Source is starting from scratch with a new title and a slew of new artists. Paying tribute to Gallic electronic pioneers such as Jean-Jacques Perrey, many songs explore Moog sounds and often display a goofy streak. On most of the tracks, the beats take a backseat to carefree humor and laid-back insouciance--many make Air sound like Metallica in comparison. While kitsch sometimes rears its ironic head, most cuts are enchanting precisely because they approach fluffiness with unselfconscious grace. In particular, watch out for P. Jack and Rob, who have the wide-eyed wonder of 1960s kids' TV shows. But the compilation's centerpiece is Bertrand Burgalat's sprawling "Kim," a sexy marvel of organ, vrooming synthesizers, and breathy "doo-doos." Gorgeous. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
