Wuz

Product Description
WUZ came about when Yves Saint Laurent commissioned 3 tracks from Alex for their catwalk shows in 2001. Alex wrote 10 tracks and got labelmate Demon on the case for a harder, clubbier sound than Alex's usual output. The resulting LP is one of the best dance albums to come out of France (indeed the world) for some time. Not necessarily immediate, not obvious, no podium fillers, but these tracks seep into your conscious and please all the senses. Includes the first single 'Use Me'. 2002.

not 2 wice an album.......2005-04-15

I bought this album at the boarder in Germany, don't know why, I haven't heard of him before, it was cheap and I needed some music to the bustrip....
well, it's a very weird CD, the only tracks that are good are "Whut Dew U Mean", "No Slang", "Burnin' Krypt" & "Can You Feel Dis", the rest is less than nothing.... an' what's with all the slang words?? "Wuz Craculatin'" "Whut Dew - What Do" "4 Da Bit@*es" a.s.o. a.s.o. it's (...), don't buy it... save your money for the forthcoming album "Be" from Common, it's gonna be sweet

Wuz not was is tres chic!.......2002-09-06

One name not to be missed if you're at all interested in house music, particularly French house music, is Alex Gopher.

Gopher's rise to the upper echelon of the French house scene came through his work producing records for the influential dance music labels, Source and Solid, cornerstones of the Parisian house scene. He solidified his growing popular reputation after he contributed two tracks to Etienne de Crecy's highly acclaimed "Super Discount" compilation of French lounge-house tracks by some of the superstars of French house. Two years later, in 1998, he released his first solo album, "You, My Baby & I," a laidback and sometimes danceable downtempo house album with the singles, "Party People" and "The Child" becoming club staples. Come 2001, Gopher was commissioned to produce a couple exclusive tracks so Wuz was created for that purpose.

Originally a conceptual side-project formed to produce three tracks for the designer Yves Saint Laurent's catwalk shows in 2001, Wuz's output progressively developed into a full-length album. To have a harder and clubbier edge to his usual chill, downtempo style, Alex Gopher brought in labelmate Demon (aka Jeremie Mondon) to help out. The result is essentially Alex Gopher's second album and one of the finest and tightest house albums to come out of France to date.

Starting off the album with an airy and charmed track, "Intimacy," by Demon and leading straight into the chill and upbeat title track, "Wuz," one might believe that the album was going to be an endorphin-laden journey towards nirvana. But things quickly change, as the track "Without You" exudes a menacing dance beat not previously seen in Gopher's work. The mechanical repetition of indecipherable vocal samples set to a throbbing mixture of funky guitar licks and soaring flange effects all make for the sensation of a bad trip on the dance floor.

The song coasts into the very chill atmosphere of the next song, "Long Island," which is like a Vangelis track from the movie "Bladerunner" infused with a little bit of funk to give the listener a beat to tap to. It is almost an ironic understatement compared to the irresistible hit-single of the album, "Use Me," which follows in its placid wake.

A melancholy dance anthem characterized on one hand by the pessimism of the song's chorus line, "All you want to do is use me" and a persistent dance rhythm of obligatory house claps and bass thumps on the other hand, "Use Me" is a song engineered to be a dance hit. Tugging at both the listener's conscience attention to the lyrics and his/her dancing feet at the same time, it is an irrepressible song capturing both the sensational and intellectual nature of the musical vision Gopher had highlighted on his first album, "You, My Baby & I."

The songs that follow "Use Me," however, are less convincing of a dominant dance theme and are more relaxed downtempo tracks. At points, they almost seem to have a dance beat just to keep the party going, even while the host has clearly retired to his bedroom. Still, the atmospheric ambience of all the later tracks on the album do successfully set the mood for a perfectly smooth after-hours lounge to retreat to once the main party is over.

Though one might have fallen asleep by now after the very mellow glow of the past few songs, the last track on the album is not one to be missed as it stands as one of the strongest dance-focused tracks, and at 11:28 minutes, it generously comprises many facets of the Wuz sound. Just as the album began with the Demon, "Keep On Dancing (Last Man Standing)" was produced entirely by the Demon. A rambling bit resembling a DJ mix more than a song, it is nevertheless one of the most entertaining rides on the album.

Interesting album; good potential.......2005-04-03

I'm an old guy, so I've never heard of Sarah Sharp before, but she was on my MusicMatch "Just Added" list so I gave her a try. Her voice is pleasing and has good dynamics, if a little high in its register (for my taste) and a bit sing-songy. It is an honest voice, though, without all the dramatics and shadings we hear from so many young artists today. The lyrics are interesting and very contemporary. I'd classify her music as pop, but with a little edge in attitude, not unlike Joan Osbourne, but without the raw power of Osborne's work. There is also a little of Norah Jones' sound here, which makes for an interesting combo. All in all, I'd say there are 4-5 good songs on this album, and that makes it worth buying. I think she'll get more interesting with more experience and more age in her vocal chords.

Bangin.......2001-03-16

To all CMW fans although at first glance this album seems to have all the songs you already have (If you have the other albums) it doesnt, i have all the albums except "its a compton thang" and i only knew about 2 or 3 of the tracks off here, plus they are all good especially "streight up meanace" (from menace 2 society). Also if you have not heard CMW before this album is a good intro too the group and has some but not all of their excellent songs on it, i definitly recommend it.
