Earlier today, a friend sent me a link to a video clip merely labeled Cornelius. The guy is a big fan of the Japanese performer and I expected this to be some cool artsy video clip. What I got was 120 seconds of electro hipster mayhem, with usual suspects The Bloody Beatroots, Steve Aoki, LA Riots and company in full don't-give-a-fuck party mode, along with all the crowd surfing, girl-on-girl mashing and puking that has become the aesthetic cornerstone of the new electro scene. A Cross the Universe (the film) is the same sort of adventure in feature-length form. A sensory overload of hedonism that makes you jealous, disgusted and aroused all at once. In an interview with Justice immediately following the LA premier of the film, Xavier described it as a "young French people indulging in the clichés of rock'n'roll." A surprisingly self-aware answer from someone whom I had just watched drink, fight and carouse his way across America for 90 minutes. In other words, Justice might come off as jerks to those too old or trapped in self-denial (guilty) to appreciate the bacchanal that goes hand-in-hand with their community. But these guys are smart, and dangit, I still like them. And if you need a reminder of why Justice is a talent worthy of attention even with the cameras off, pop out the DVD and replace it with the live disc that comes with the package—because nothing would afford Justice the enviable "lifestyle" they've come to represent were the music not so dead on....full text |

| Unfortunately for Justice, the act's "live" CD/ DVD sees release a few weeks after the blogosphere had a field day with a photo that showed it playing ferociously on MIDI equipment—which was visibly unplugged. No matter, though. The Justice live show—like any proper nightclub party —is more about communal experience through music playback, as the crowd noise on this 18-track synth blitz proves. Just listen to those kids fill the silence with a singalong during "We Are Your Friends" or bust a gut cheering when the familiar sing-song refrain to the hit "D.A.N.C.E." first drops. Nearly every track here is from the French duo's 2007 debut "Cross," tweaked and sequenced for maximum rock concert-like impact. Does it upset the applecart of ethics of both DJ'ing and live performance? Absolutely. But hearing a crowd go wild for a kick drum has to do the dance community proud. —Kerri Mason...full text |

There’s a lot to be said for live albums. At their best, they reveal a band at their most demented and vulnerable, stripping away the studio-constructed pretension, allowing you to peer directly into their scarred souls. Course, that’s all very well when your playlist is ‘Metallic KO’, ‘Stop Making Sense’ and ‘Live At Leeds’, but how many even half-decent live albums have there been this decade? Many current acts are – justifiably – anxious that their wan fumbling might not feel so essential without a faceful of lasers and a three-pint head start. Ironic, then, that it takes a band who play their live sets behind a bank of glowing circuitry to show everybody else how it’s done. The reality is that a Justice show is more tangibly live than any bum-numbing effort from the ‘real music’ brigade. In a world where a comedy cover version in the encore constitutes thrilling spontaneity, Justice fearlessly feed their entire catalogue into the meat-grinder, familiar riffs strewn about the place like dangling entrails. ‘DVNO’ crashes and burns in under two minutes while ‘Phantom’ is teased out over 10 before returning half an hour later for a second crack. Think you’re sick of ‘We Are Your Friends’? You haven’t heard it ushered in atop glowering organs and ‘Atlantis To Interzone’ sirens before being devoured by thrash-metal riffage. No question, ‘A Cross The Universe’ is a more powerful introduction to Justice than their actual studio album ‘†’....full text |
