(2002)"Kittenz and Thee Glitz" is a 2001 album by American DJ / producer
Felix da Housecat . It was released in the U.S. on Emperor Norton in 2002 after being critically acclaimed in the UK. It features the single "Silver Screen Shower Scene" and the vocals of French artistMiss Kittin .The album mixes early Eighties electronic music, of the kind released by Ze records artist Cristina, with
house music . It invented theelectroclash genre, and acts such asFischerspooner andGoldfrapp have been influnced by it. Outside of that genre, the use of electronic Eighties backings on R&B hits such asAmerie 's "1 Thing ", shows the wider contiuning effect of this album.

Paul Morley in his book "", as one of his 100 albums to hear if you thinkRadiohead 's "Kid A " is weird.The album's first single, "Silver Screen Shower Scene" should be noted to contain a sample of the
