Vice does all y'all Serato users a favor with the budget-conscious domestic release of BOTH Justice EP's on one CD. Here is a "mash-up" of the original reviews: Justice are longtime associates of another mysterious French duo, and though they definitely take a page or two from Daft Punk's playbook, it's clear from the onset of "Waters of Nazareth(1)" that Justice have a completely unique twist on that super-heavy, crunchy electro sound. The title track is an absolute destroyer, shifting from a thumping low-end squelch that's alternately noisy and catchy to ethereal organs seamlessly (and doing so a few times during the course of the track) before ending in a glorious wash of feedback. That makes it sound like a total dancefloor killer, but believe me: this shit is danceable to the highest degree. The other two tracks here aren't too shabby either: the roaring "Let There Be Light(2)" is labeled as a demo version, but you'd never know to listen to it, and "Carpates(3)" is like the soundtrack to the hidden level of Contra that nobody ever saw where you have to fight Marilyn Manson's head on an octopus body. Then, Justice head back to the track that spread their name far and wide, offering a remix/collaboration with fellow Ed Banger and Uffie producer Feadz on the "Waters of Nazareth" remix(4). Electro-rock remixer extraordinaire Erol Alkan contributes a DJ-friendly re-edit(5) and DJ Funk(!) turns in the barely-recognizable "Bounce Dat Ass Remix(6)" of "Let There Be Light." Recommended.
