Kid Loco ?: Jesus Life For Children Under 12 Inches

An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Kid Loco aka Jean-Yves Prieur, began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early '80s. He moved on to production as well by the end of the decade, and moved on to reggae and hip-hop with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch. By 1996, Prieur had built his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and released the Blues Project EP for Yellow Productions. The full-length A Grand Love Story appeared one year later, earning praise from many in the indie-rock and electronica community. A remix album was released in 1998. Prieur also accompanied St. Etienne's Sarah Cracknell for a rendition of "The Man I Love" from the Gershwin tribute Red Hot + Rhapsody, and has remixed Stereolab, Pulp, Mogwai, the High Llamas, Dimitri from Paris and Talvin Singh. The reconfigured Prelude to a Grand Love Story appeared in 1999 as Loco's US full-length debut, and the remix album Jesus Life for Children Under 12 Inches followed later that same year. Kid Loco moved up to the majors with his second full-length, 2001's Kill Your Darlings. (web bio)

Jesus Life For Children Under 12 Inches contains 12 songs remixed by Kid Loco on this collection of laid-back grooves. Like fellow French geniuses Air, the Kid has gathered musical influences from the most unlikely sources and moulded them into his own distinctive sound. He also shares Air's love of slow, soothing beats and cinematic strings. Jesus Life gives twelve artists the full remix treatment. Some of the most unlikely candidates undergo the most successful transformations. The Pastels' defiantly shambolic noodlings are turned into a sophisticated soundscape on "Viaduct." Elsewhere, Tommy Hools' "Les Reprouves" is reborn as a twangy '60s spy movie theme, while Talvin Singh's "Traveller" (possibly the standout track) is a swirling, magical journey. This is a tasty chilled collection. (web review)
