French funk devotees Acts of Sedition continued their penchant for double-dropping 7"s with 'Femmes Fatale' last year, and it has been so addictive that this reissue has been rightly sanctioned. The record revisits a clutch of disco and soul cuts through the lens of a set of shadowy collaborators. It opens with Betty Crutcher's 'Sleepy People (Old Chap Alteration),' a swooning rework awash with aching strings and crisp, funk-laced drums. Gwen McCrae's 'Move Me Baby (SanFran Disko Transformation)' follows with a more propulsive, uplifting energy, while The Sisters Love's 'Give Me Your Love (Fingerman Remodel)' drifts into a blissed-out, cinematic fusion of soul and disco. Closing the set, Clydie King's 'Punish Me (Bully Boy Makeover)' leans into something rawer and more visceral with commanding horns pushing to the fore.
