| | Cassius 1999 CD Cassius Discography of CDs
Producers Boombass and Philippe Zdar might not be household names, but you have probably heard the work of these two Parisian geniuses without even realizing it. Combining hip-hop beats with house music production values, 1999 is an exercise in genre blurring. It's impossible to put the songs into one category, as they include everything possible, all with the avowed intention of making you move. Recorded in an unusually short period of time (three weeks), the album mixes funk-filled tracks with the energy that Philippe brought back from his storming DJ sets at Paris clubs like Respect and the South London deep-house drunkfests Basment Jaxx and Scaramanga. The album is deep with fresh, innovative yet retro-style tracks that bristle with life from the start. 1999 was built to last long past the millennium.
Parisian House
Cassius: Boombass, Philippe Zdar.
Rolling Stone (2/4/99, p.63) - "...The duo bases its music on the finely calibraged roar of house: constantly unwinding, nonstop rhythms; shiny-toned pointillist beats; and stray voices from old funk jams, cartoons and ad spots....they just keep pulling off uncanny impersonations of the funkiest little band on the planet."
Q (3/99, p.93) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...A booming bass holds together 16 seriously entertaining tracks which strut their stuff with a smirk at the disco, jack things up Detroit-style around effortlessly addictive bass lines and wig-out on 70's wah-wah..."
Mixmag (2/99, p.101) - 4 out of 5 - "...house music as it should be - funky, sexy, raw and alive, yet more proof that Paris is still burning."
Muzik (2/99, p.79) - 5 stars (out of 5) - "...Imagine the audio equivalent of gazing into the crystal ball of dance music in the year 2000, and you've got '1999'..."
CMJ (2/1/99, p.24) - "...make use of their hip-hop experiences, spicing up their cuts with bigger backbeats, fatter bass lines, funkier melodies and an overall sassier attitude than those of their contemporaries..." Cassius 1999 Songs | 1. | Cassius 1999 |

It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who lives in a castle, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing: the austerity is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is fascinating, albeit mildly so, as this is as sleepy as it is thoughtful. And it's that thoughtfulness that does distinguish IF ON A WINTER NIGHT...; no other Christmas album exists in the head like this. It's a holiday album for people who have never wanted to hear a holiday album, let alone own one.

| | Kiss Lick It Up CD (1983) Remastered
1999
$7.59 
Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
September 18, 1983 is a day that will go down in Kisstory. It was then that Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and replacement members Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr took off their signature makeup and revealed themselves on MTV. LICK IT UP was released, and a new chapter unfolded.
Using the same production team as CREATURES OF THE NIGHT, Michael James Jackson, Simmons and Stanley came up with the same bone crunching sound as CREATURES, but with a slightly more polished feel. "Exciter" kicks off the album with a machine gun riff, which leads into Gene Simmons proclaiming he's "Not For The Innocent". The title track was a modest hit in the U.S., faired better in the U.K. and made for quite an entertaining video. "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" is a gritty streetwise track where Paul Stanley actually raps! "And On The 8th Day" is a powerful anthem that closes an exciting album.
With Vinnie Vincent's expert guitar playing and songwriting abilities (he co-wrote 8 out of the 10 tracks) and Eric Carr's powerful backbeat, ...
