If you own any of those K-Tel-styled “Best of the New Wave 80s” compilations, then you might as well keep your collection of Dr. Rhythm-era synth-pop current with a copy of Chromeo’s She's In Control. Point blank, the offering is an unapologetic time-capsule from the Me-Decade. She's In Control sounds as if Rockwell joined forces with Fine Young Cannibals and Newcleus, thus yielding party tunes that are new yet old, oh so old. Make no mistake, the tunes will evoke memories of big-hair, neon flamingos, perpetual five o’clock shadows with an abundance of some of the shrillest tom-tom drumming ever witnessed this side of a Vanity 6 EP. Don’t let that dissuade you, though. Slap on your electric turquoise blazer and sandals for a look-back at the days when Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes epitomized what was hip -- ouch! She’s In Control is so wrong, that it’s just right.

You might like United States of Electronica--its like Chromeo if they did late-90's style dance music. Lighthearted and fun.
