Part dance album and part free-form experiment, When Analog Worms Attack is one of the more curious pieces of woofer-taxing techno to be heard. French artist-musician Quentin Dupieux, a.k.a. Mr. Oizo, proves emphatically that there's plenty of life left in deliciously free, bedroom-crafted expressions. Dupieux calls his sound "dirty house": subsonics are a rumbling ever-present, while the tunes themselves are like Paris on a rainy spring afternoon, lurking with crafty shadows and moments of wonderful high art. There are striplets of upbeat funk guitar laced throughout, but as the album strolls along, matters get significantly darker, the title track taking you into the shadier areas of the metro system before leaving you firmly entrenched in darkness with the fully developed "Analog Worms Sequel." Of course, Dupieux saves the most popular until last, with the European megahit "Flat Beat" (which sold more than 2 million copies in '99 after mass exposure through a Levi's commercial) tacked on as a bonus track some two minutes after the disc has ended. This CD is the aural version of a subversive, French art-house film. Add a good double espresso, some Gitanes plus a copy of L'Equipe, and it's a gloriously cheap vacation. --Steffan Chirazi

 thats the beat June 19, 2006
I. Basocmbe (SW Eng)
a fantastic dark electonica, experimental album. this is not for the faint hearted. dirty basslines and heavy beats (with a few funky cuts) make this album appeal to the less maistream electro fans. the famous 'flatbeat' tune is probably one of the weaker tracks so if your getting this album based on that song, your in for a treat. awesome
Flat beat January 28, 2006
Logan Seguin (Michigan)
This is the best techno album that i have heard yet. Its simplistic dirty drum and bass style is unlike any i've heard yet. This album really gave me faith in the whole genre, because i am usually not very intrigued with techno music in general. Includes a sweet little video for "flat beat" which proves to be a nice little addition. All in all, great from start to finish.

Tastefully kitsch, chunky, funky and heavy... This album makes me want to bob my head and that makes me happy.
If you like Oizo, check out Wagon Christ's Throbbing Pouch... It's a bit more downtempo and the mood is just *slighty* darker; but it still bobs along a similar vein...
One of the most unique albums ever made March 29, 2005

I first bought this cd back in 2001 and loved it immediately. I always thought Flat Beat was a bit overrated, and the rest of the album is what I like in Mr. Oizo- harder and wierder. Until I hear anything close to its sound, 5 stars.
One last thing- it's the perfect cd to crash a wedding party, especially track 8. Timeless.
 Analog synths and funky beats at their best! November 8, 2003

Not too many people have heard of Mr. Oizo, aside from, perhaps, "Flat Beat" which aired on MTV for a number of weeks a couple years ago (God forbid anyone actually watch that channel though). After hearing "Flat Beat" I immediately fell in love (and who could resist with that curiously humorous puppet from the video?)After listening to the album all the way through, I immediately started it over and switched on 'repeat'. This is an album that I can hardly stop listening to. Its funky sounds and curious off-beat tempo adds an almost unsurpassable flavor to the songs. Although this CD is incredibly amazing (to me) I had to give it a 4 out of 5 because of the repitition of sounds and beats. As much as I love it, anyone out there that isn't into this particular genre may find the repeating beats and sounds annoying about halfway through the album. If you liked "Flat Beat" and particularly enjoy the electronica genre this album is a definite "must have".
