The next in this series is the debut album for Tiga. It was a bit odd that this was his debut album given he'd been around a while by the time it came out, but then again there are plenty of dance music DJs who don't ever release studio albums so maybe not that strange.
Tiga first hit the big time in 2002 with "Sunglasses At Night", still perhaps his best known tune to date. Then came his dance version of "Hot In Herre" which didn't come out that long after the Nelly version and featured Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters at a time before they had their first UK hit. Neither of these tunes were on the album, but given how old these were by this point it's understandable.
The earliest release to make the album was "Pleasure From The Bass" which came out in 2004. Then there was "Louder Than a Bomb", followed by "You Gonna Want Me" which featured a now well known Jake Shears. Also coming out prior to the album was "Good As Gold".
By the time I bought the album, he'd also released "(Far From) Home" and "3 Weeks". The main reason I bought the album was for "(Far From) Home" as it's worth buying for that track alone. Furthermore there is also a remix on the album called "(Far From) Home (The Speed Of Sexor Reprise)".
With 6 tracks that I already knew and liked plus a remix of one of them, what else was on the album?
Well there are 14 tracks in total, 2 of which are interludes (The opening track "Welcome To Planet Sexor" and "Who's That?"). Then we have 3 covers, "Louder Than A Bomb" by Public Enemy, "Down In It" by Nine Inch Nails and "Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads.
The remaining 2 tracks are "The Ballad Of Sexor" and "Brothers", the latter containing the hidden track "Sir Sir Sir".
When I bought it I couldn't stop listening to it. What makes it so great? I've no idea to be honest, it's simply an album I love to listen to.
