Product Description
From Amazon.com
French DJ/international starlet Miss Kittin’s work behind the decks has received less attention than her droll vocal work on records such as Felix Da Housecat’s Kittenz and Thee Glitz. On Radio Caroline, Volume 1, her meandering observations about bohemian life are entwined with the electro sound with which she’s come to be identified. Happily, Kittin the DJ has a healthy love of experimentation, mixing '80s synths with warm electronica. When she cleverly segues from house DJ Jasper Dahlbeck’s "Nyckelpiga (Rytmer)" into Autechre’s classic "Flutter," the result sounds like an evolution. The electro scene has devolved quickly, becoming less Next Big Thing and more new wave rehash. Albums like this one, however, provide a massive dose of hope for the genre. --Matthew Cooke
Album Description
The first mixed album from Miss Kitten is an homage to the first ever pirate radio of the same name. There is no compromise on this emotional & solid aural selection. The CD showcases her world-class mixing skills and the clever wit that made her acclaimed collaborations with The Hacker, Felix da Housecat & Golden Boy one of the highlights of 2002. Slipcase. Emperor Norton Records. 2003.

This would've been a nice CD...,

... if not for those pretentious voice-overs that totally ruin otherwise decent tracks.

A right classic except for her liner note interludes,
This review is from: V1 Radio Caroline (Audio CD)
Miss Kittin, known as Caroline Herve to her folks, drops her second commercial mix in as many years, following up the dancefloor snapshot On The Road two-CD set. Knowing a star when they see one, Emperor Norton Records wisely snapped up her newest project Radio Caroline for release in the States. Call it a curveball perhaps, but Miss Kittin presents twenty pieces of not-quite-danceable tunes from way, way underground artists that no one short of music mag editors or scene spotters will likely recognize. Which doesn't matter, for this deftly crafted deep techno delight clicks and pops in all the right places, unerringly tied together by selections with warm, accessible melody. Delrosa & Asora's "Paz Suite 4" leads with delicate guitar and soft drones, lifted by scratchy beats, culminating to a sweet high by Leo Elstob's dry commentary "Tab Pills Bonus," the Der Zyklus music box instrumental "Matematische Modelle" and barest sounds of Conrad Black's "Greyscale For Slow Building.' There's not a dull track anywhere, with slo-mo surprise Walking Endustries' "Makee" and the flittering bleeps of Kinesthesia's "Flicklife" to wrap things up. A right classic then. Except. Miss Kittin the DJ didn't trust the music to speak for itself, finding need to add commentary on top of a half dozen tunes. Acceptable as an intro, annoying when tangents on toothbrushes, hairgel, travel life as a DJ, or freaking out appear throughout. Injecting her quirky, stilted personality may be what fans expect; that's surely the basis of her most popular singles. For this compilation, however, she should have kept those musings on liner notes. 3.5 stars

my girl!,
By A Customer
This review is from: V1 Radio Caroline (Audio CD)
good lord can this girl dj. not only one of the most forward thinking track selections, but some of the most well thought out layering of tracks i have ever experienced. as are her two previous dj mixed cd's i have had the opportunity to listen to. the art of dj-ing was well on its way out in my opinion, but miss kitten has really revived the art. quirky, intelligent track selection. excellent flow. one of those dj mixes that tell a story, a good story... majic.
