So I grabbed the FreeIndie.com web mix of Prototypes back in January, thinking it sounded like fun:

Like baguettes and brie, Prototypes give us a reason to like the French. This three piece band from Paris churns out exciting electro-pop dance songs filled with catchy loops and lyrics I don’t understand.

I think I listened to the whole album (five songs) three or four times, and then shuffled it off my iPod. But I find that the refrain of Je Ne Te Connais Pas still pops into my head from time to time. That’s catchy.

I also can’t help but hear a bit of Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s Love Missle F1-11 in the synth beat under Un Gars Fragile. Sampling from the same source?
