Details Lead Performance: Laurent Garnier; Genre: Electronic

Laurent Garnier is the elder statesman of French DJ music, a techno traditionalist who always leavened his austere beats with a certain jouissance. His sound has grown, and his latest, Unreasonable Behavior, unleashes acoustic bass, free-jazzy horns, and assorted birds in a rugged electro-soundscape. More restrained than Gallic offspring like Daft Punk (sometimes a plus), he can still make skull-exploding dance tracks, as ''The Sound of the Big Babou'' proves. Maturity has its benefits. B
