Le Gooster, a trip-hop artist from France, spins a midtempo vibe that has both its peaks and pitfalls. The pitfalls are the meandering tracks that move slowly around a creepy beat; Le Gooster just can't pull off the deep, soulful experience other trip-hop artists like
DJ Shadow are capable of. However, Le Gooster does spin more than his share of great hip-hop tunes, such as the exhilarating "Le Funkster" and the turntable magic of "How Many DJs." ~ Mike Pfeiffer
