Description
was eyed suspiciously by hardcore enthusiasts on either side of the jazz-dance divide. (A notorious Village Voice review called it “NPR techno.”) But it’s a wonderful time capsule with sensibilities that still ring true today: great drum programming, heartfelt jazz playing and a stylistic range palatable to both electronic music haters and club dance floors alike. (“Pont Des Arts” is a lost organ house anthem.)
Navarre has since moved on to working with West African artists and musical styles, but Tourist casts a long shadow over everything else under the St. Germain name. Sure, it’s not perfectthe dated “So Flute” is better forgottenbut Tourist deserves its place in the house music pantheon, creating a sound that, for a time, seemed to be pretty much everywhere.
