Album Description The first mixed album from Miss Kitten is an homage to the first ever pirate radio of the same name. There is no compromise on this emotional & solid aural selection. The CD showcases her world-class mixing skills and the clever wit that made her acclaimed collaborations with The Hacker, Felix da Housecat & Golden Boy one of the highlights of 2002. Slipcase.

CD ReviewsA right classic ? except for her liner note interludes Richard Diaz | 05/22/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Miss Kittin, known as Caroline Herve to her folks, drops her second commercial mix in as many years, following up the dancefloor snapshot On The Road two-CD set. Knowing a star when they see one, Emperor Norton Records wisely snapped up her newest project Radio Caroline for release in the States. Call it a curveball perhaps, but Miss Kittin presents twenty pieces of not-quite-danceable tunes from way, way underground artists that no one short of music mag editors or scene spotters will likely recognize. Which doesn't matter, for this deftly crafted deep techno delight clicks and pops in all the right places, unerringly tied together by selections with warm, accessible melody. Delrosa & Asora's "Paz Suite 4" leads with delicate guitar and soft drones, lifted by scratchy beats, culminating to a sweet high by Leo Elstob's dry commentary "Tab Pills Bonus," the Der Zyklus music box instrumental "Matematische Modelle" and barest sounds of Conrad Black's "Greyscale For Slow Building.' There's not a dull track anywhere, with slo-mo surprise Walking Endustries' "Makee" and the flittering bleeps of Kinesthesia's "Flicklife" to wrap things up. A right classic then. Except. Miss Kittin the DJ didn't trust the music to speak for itself, finding need to add commentary on top of a half dozen tunes. Acceptable as an intro, annoying when tangents on toothbrushes, hairgel, travel life as a DJ, or freaking out appear throughout. Injecting her quirky, stilted personality may be what fans expect; that's surely the basis of her most popular singles. For this compilation, however, she should have kept those musings on liner notes. 3.5 stars" Nice blend of rhythms and lyrics Sasha | Boston, MA | 04/05/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Miss Kittin's album is autobiographical excellence. Multi-faceted rhythms and songs keep you intrigued throughout the CD. Upbeat, yet relaxing. I first heard Miss Kittin's songs "Frank Sinatra" and "Nurse" about a month ago from a previous album. So I was expecting Radio Caroline 1 to be a lot more punk and vulger, but this mellow mix was a pleasant surprise. With my little knowledge of Miss Kittin, it was a "gamble" purchase. This time I was lucky. I'll be looking for her next release." This would've been a nice CD... 07/31/2003 (2 out of 5 stars) "... if not for those pretentious voice-overs that totally ruin otherwise decent tracks."
