I have to be honest and admit that the first thing that turned me on to French pop lothario Sebastien Tellier was hearing his entry for the Eurovision Song Contest - Divine - which just stood out like a little shining gem amongst the dramatic ballads, bizarre orchestral arrangements and bad trashpop of the other entries. Ok, so it wasn't really much of a standard to be pitched against but it made me listen to the rest of the album, Sexuality, and I quickly realised the man is a kitsch, OTT, wonderfully Eurotrash rockgod genius (it probably also helped that the album was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk..). Now I find the gorgeous ballady track from the album, L'Amour et La Violence, has been remixed by eletro militants Boys Noize who have turned it into a heart racingly uplifting grower of a track complete with their trademark smashing basslines. Good work.
