Kittenz and thee Glitz is the second concept album from Felix da Housecat, the intrepid Chicago house producer behind 1999's excellent I Know Elektrikboy (released as Maddkatt Courtship). For this one Felix moved from dance culture to sex culture, recruiting a bevy of detached, vaguely European-sounding female vocals (including starlet Miss Kittin) and producing a dozen songs on self-explanatory themes, like the 90210-dropping "Madame Hollywood." Though it doesn't have the astonishing musical range of I Know Elektrikboy, Kittenz and the Glitz is just as fun, from the mindless sing-alongs, one-finger synthesizer melodies, and '80s electro disco sheen of "Happy Hour," "Glitz Rock," and "Silver Screen (Shower Scene)" (though the last sounds more reminiscent of the Cars than Cerrone). For "Control Freaq," a promising production soundclash with Junior Sanchez proves frustratingly short, and the handful of short vignettes also impede the flow. Da Housecat can't be stopped, though; Kittenz and thee Glitz is an amusing ride through a similarly addled mind as glimpsed by hip-hop auteurs like the Automator and Prince Paul.
