The result: in 1999, Réunion's balance of trade was in the red to the tune of over $1.9 billion. At the same time the island has been experiencing a demographic explosion, with a birthrate almost double the European average.

With its electronically-disguised vocals (which inspired hits like Eiffel 65’s “Blue”), anthem-like tune, and persuasive decree, “don’t stop the dancing,” it appeals to both club and radio audiences. The rest of the album, though, deviates quite significantly from the mainstream. After the first few songs, the Discovery’s momentum slows; still, some...
