It's customary for
Justice
to release a concert album at the end of each of their tours, but with
Woman Worldwide
, they add a twist: instead of releasing an especially inspired live set, this time
Xavier de Rosnay
and
Gaspard Auge
recorded the arrangements they came up with for
in the studio. While
might be missing some of the audience energy of a true live album, it keeps the focus on
's formidable skill at mashing up sounds. Using a decade's worth of albums and remixes as fodder,
de Rosnay
Auge
are at the peak of their mixing powers, combining their body of work with architectural precision and coming up with dynamic new forms along the way. As they reinvent "Safe and Sound" and "D.A.N.C.E." into an impressive opening salvo, they balance
Woman
's streamlined approach with the crowd-pleasing energy of
Cross
. Indeed,
's debut album provides the glue that holds together several of
's standouts, whether it's the duel of "Heavy Metal x DVNO" or the complex layers of "Waters of Nazareth x We Are Your Friends x Phantom 2," which also throws in the duo's remix of
Simian
's "Never Be Alone" for good measure. As head-spinning as the mixes can get -- "Pleasure x Newjack x Civilization" spans nine years of the duo's career within minutes --
's meticulous craft never detracts from the excitement of these new juxtapositions of familiar sounds. A celebration of the duo's music,
rewards fans who want to delve into its musical connections as well as those who want to get lost in its momentum. ~ Heather Phares
