The music of Panda Transport is extremely unique, experimental dance pop with a taste of lounge and noise. The duo combines electronic sound with live instruments and a cerebral lyrical style. “Paint by Numbers” is an addictive, pop dance tune with pretty vocals by Kathy Compton, and “Back to School” has an interesting experimetal dance beat combined with ethereal vocal harmonies. “Devil in Me” is an ultra-modern lounge song with a beat box beat, while “Transmission” will enchant you with its captivatingly beautiful melody. “Le Voile” is a jazzy love song with an alluring beat and a seductive flute solo. The intriguing, “La Fin du Prince Charles,” has a melody that is slightly reminiscent of the 80’s hit, “99 Luftballoons.” Thierry Holweck sings on “Faith,” which is perhaps the most radio-friendly track. It has an infectious hook and melody and a crazy breakdown with unconventional sounds and whistling. The largely instrumental, “Chapeau,” has an electro-funk beat juxtaposed against a Depeche Mode-influenced intermezzo. On “Cosy,” Ms. Compton raps about the story of a man who just wanted to be “cozy and luxuriously warm,” while a robot voice adds on the chorus that all he wanted was to “die laughing.” The noisy dance track, “Wanted,” which is remixed by Frank Cavet, posseses a full haunting melody and sound. The album also contains a techno remix of “Paint by Numbers” by Bart Thissen and an experimental/noise remix of “Transmission” by The Noise Affinity. Interesting sound!
