Cross

Their debut: twelve tracks, heavily sampled, with Uffie and Mehdi Pinson as guest vocalists.
Justice, 2007

Cross runs 48:13 over twelve tracks and was recorded in Paris in 2005 and 2006; no studio is named. The duo produced it, with Uffie on "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy" and Mehdi Pinson on "DVNO". Metacritic scored it 81 from 25 reviews. Jess Harvell of Pitchfork called it the ideal crossover electronic-pop record, Michaelangelo Matos of the A.V. Club a killer party record, and Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone said it has loads of melodrama and not a moment of subtlety. De Rosnay said some of the sampled bits, including Slipknot vocal fragments, are ones that nobody can recognize.
