Amazon.co.uk Review
Felix Da Housecat has been rocking heads since back in the day with his quirky, retro sounds. His new album Kittenz and the Glitz is as adventurous as anything he's done to date, and wears his pre-1990s influences starkly on his sleeve. Starting out with "Harlot", an energetic track that captures the seediness within the futurism of synth-pop, Felix takes us on a ride through myriad takes on the 1980s sound. Joined by guest vocalists Melissa and Miss Kitten (as well as himself), and other producers including Junior Sanchez, Harrison Crump and Tommy Sunshine, the veteran producer dives into an indulgent but accomplished project that is often capable of dazzling brilliance and innovation. Interludes such as "Analogue City" and "Electro Fly" live up to their titles, owing much to the often dark, electro sounds of bands like OMD and Human League while tracks such as "Madame Hollywood" and "Happy Hour" add a slightly harder, industrial edge. But it's not all doom and gloom; Felix comes up with songs like the beautiful "Pray For A Star", a beautiful song with soaring vocals, slap-bass funk and elevating strings, as well as the uplifting piano chords and old skool vibes of "Sequel to Dub", both of which break things up nicely. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description
Chicago acid house wizard Felix da Housecat released KITTNZ& THEE GLITZ in 2002, adding to a growing catalog of outlandish dance music. Pulsing with his patented grooves and retro textures, KITTNZ is more overtly sexual than some of Felixda Housecat's other releases (especially the theatrical vocal cameos of Miss Kitten), but that only adds to the slinky glamour of the tracks. "Happy Hour", "Glitz Rock", and the Junior Vasquez collaboration "Control Freaq" are among the hip-moving, electro highlights.

Customer Reviews

A cracking CD
Had meant to buy this CD for ages but never got round to it - glad I did eventually though. A lot of the tracks you will have heard before, but not known what they were. A nice mix of electropop and house - Glitz Rock is a favourite. The only one I don't like so much is What Does It Feel Like, but that's only cos it isn't as upbeat as the others.

Didn't realise he was the Madkatt Courtship. My Life Musik was on the Jacques Lu Cont Blueprint CD, which is another decent buy.

Brilliant
If you like dance music then you must own this.

If you don't then you must own this.

It is simply a stunning record that has all sorts of retro sounds in it.

If you like new order then you must own this.

If you like 80s music then you must own this.

If you hate 80s music and are into upbeat dance music then you must own this.

I honestly can't recommend it highly enough.

Every good home should have a copy

Sublime Glitzy Beats
Mr Housecat and his talented menagerie of kittens delivers a unique hybrid of quirky soundbites and 8o's synth loops to deliver you a punchy, fresh sound for summer 2001, full of crunch, electronic soundcapes and a genuine album to dance yer pants off to.Harking from sounds produced by the likes of Kraftwerk and the Human league, the Cats, create their own brand of simplicity and effectiveness.It's a real upper to, each track designed to give you that positive:Life is great feel.I found my heart lifting and I couldn't stop smiling. There is a humour here.The simple, forulaic melodies insist on reminding us of what was interesting about the 80's era, how we laughed and danced(How embarrassing to recall), but this cunjuring is delisciously enhanced by Cats own appreciation of a damn good sound. Massively recommended for those who are looking for something bright and fresh in an otherwise stagnant mainstream.And to those of us who wanna have a good time.Do yerself a favour and enhance yer record collection and your life!
