"Her protests may be cerebral instead of fiery, but the passion behind them is unmistakable; indeed, Silencio's righteous anger is sometimes a more immediate hook than the subtle music surrounding it. While there is a definite lounge-pop feel to these songs, the tenor is understandably more serious and sophisticated, stripped of much of the musical irony that Stereolab played with as deftly as any Moog".

"The tone is established by opening track The Rules of the Game, which uses Jean Renoir's classic 1939 movie La Règle Du Jeu as a jumping off point for a discourse on how the decadence of the ruling classes creates the conditions for fascism. The sensual, summery, gently brassy gorgeousness of the music and the Gauloises cool of Sadier's voice mean that, if you so choose, you can tune out of the lyrics and use it as the most sure-fire seduction soundtrack this side of Let's Get It On".
