It was impossible to forget one of the best releases of 2002 : "Fashionist" by the Italian duo Waldorf ! This title has an excellent sound production (like all records of the US label A Touch of Class) and of course it's really original : all lyrics are based on well known fashion brands and above all, the track combines perfectly techno, electro, pop and rock (distorted guitars). Simply Amazing ! And the Italian producers are so crazy that they bring also an a cappella version entitled "sakral choir" and sounding like a religious hymn !! All remixes ("Disghost's mix" on the main EP and "fuck electro mix" & "original electro class mix" on ATOC P04) are great too and they keep the crazy spirit and 80's influences (vocoders, typical synth sounds)... Essential !! Check real audio + mp3 samples on A Touch of Class web site and get it !!
