Synopsis

Album Description

Solo album from the leader of Taxi Girl, a French 'post Kraftwerk' electro punk band that topped the charts in the 80's. More recently he's been collaborating with Madonna who contributes to one track. Includes the first single 'Disco Science'. An eclectic, idiosyncratic album mixing sleazy disco, breakbeats and trip hop. Aside from the sub-Air stylings of 'Naive Song', it's a thrilling journey through steamy Frenchpop, from the Gainsbourg sampling of 'V.I. (The Last WordsShe Said Befoe Leaving)' to the fuzzy rock of 'Junkie'sPrayer' to the dubby closer 'Involution'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.

CD Reviews

I have a new favorite CD

Michael Ashley Schulman, Cfa | Newport Beach, CA, USA | 04/11/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have a new favorite CD that I am introducing to everyone, Mirwais's Production, an international compilation. Mystical and rhythmic, the music transports one along rivers of electronic sounds from every continent. An acid dance and electronica beat blend vocals with synth-drum, African and Indian beats along with Arabic, Indian, African and Asian vocals (to name a few). Fusion that works and appeals to lovers of music. Mirwais starts mellow and progresses up from there, eloquently exploring the blazing sound and experience. Assembles 9 tracks that present a global late night journey of beat and dream. This is the music that you hear in the coolest of cafes and then ask, "Who was that? Where can I buy it?" "Junkie's Prayer" is a trip, while "Paradise Not for Me" is a beautiful vocal track, and "Involution" fuses funk, groove and Arabian along with submarine style sonic waves."

Somewhere between the gut and the groin

Douglas King | Cincinnati, OH United States | 03/17/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Even if you're not a Madonna fan, if you're into electronic music, I'd highly recommend this album. The soundscapes Mirwais creates on "Production" transport you into a strange, sexy, futuristic world, at times fun and playful, at times creepy and dark. The distorted vocals, minimalist compositions and science fiction sound affects hit you somewhere between the gut and the groin, throbbing with intensity, lust and yearning. This is a man who definitely has a unique and original vision.

On her "Music" and "American Llife" albums, Mirwais helps Madonna take pop music to the next level, but "Production" is a true experiemental masterpiece.

Highlights: Disco Science, I Can't Wait, Junkie's Prayer, Never Young Again"
