    What makes OK Cowboy worthwhile is not a greater emphasis on the chilly tones that made Vitalic's initial singles so impressive and characterized some of his savage DJ sets, but the demonstration of a surprising degree of variety and even humanity within those seemingly narrow colonnades of rising and whiplash synths over soulless, mechanical drums.

    This is an album that leaves you in absolutely no doubt that, at the very least, Pascal Arbez-Nicolas is the best thing to come out of France since Daft Punk. [30 Apr 2005, p.63]

    One of the best electronic releases of the last few years. A must listen.

    Very dissapointing, a second rate daft punk. Nothing original is done in this album. I am honestly surprised by the good reviews this got.

    Seriously overrated. Uninspired, boring and annoyingly cheesy. Astonished at how much attention this has received. Matmos and Isolee’s albums are far superior.… Expand
