“Creature,” the solo debut from DJ, dance-music savant, and Hercules and Love Affair vocalist Kim Ann Foxman, is an unmitigated techno record, entirely absent of disco’s swing, full of the kind of electronic jamming found on an extended 12″, with a pop song stuck between the deep-house synth workouts. Foxman’s vocals, an ineffable mix of sassy, teflon diva and hyper-sincere, indie-pop chanteuse, sell the song’s creeping eroticism and make it something both menacing and dance-ready and very much a throwback to a time when everything was trying to sound like Inner City’s “Big Fun.” And that’s a really awesome time.
