Various Artists, Club Avion -- Global Indie Clubpop (Eenie Meenie)
The underground dance scene is a strange place. So many genres and sub-genres exist, that I'd never get to talk about the album at hand in my efforts to rattle off all the categories of dance music. So, this time around, Eenie Meenie Records is releasing Par Avion Global Indie Clubpop, a collection of songs from some of the most talented artists in underground Indiepop and Clubpop. Brought to you by party-hosts, Club Par Avion, this compilation features tracks from I Am the World Trade Center and Majestic as well as songs from international stars like Montreal's Stars and London's Vau Sharri. A few tracks border on the absurd with beats, blips, and voices that will infiltrate your brain until the urge to break the CD trumps your patience. Aside from those few, though, this collection provides almost an our of head-bopping, rump-shaking amusement.
