Bottom/ Valerie is a self-claimed "retrofuturistic electro-disco" collective founded in 2007 in the Nantes area in France by David Grellier (a.k.a College) and friends The Outrunners, Minitel Rose, Anoraak, Maethelvin and Russ Chimes. The collective draws inspiration from vintage scores for film and TV series from the 1980s, such as the soundtrack album by the German band Tangerine Dream for the film Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise. Major releases include Secret Diary (Futur, 2008) and the Teenage Color EP (Believe Digital, 2008). Middle/ Released six years after Risotto, Puppy (One Little Indian, 2003) is the seventh studio album from the English electronic music group Fluke. The name of the album was inspired by Jeff Koons' fifty foot sculpture of a puppy that stands outside the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. This album proved to be similar to the earlier Risotto tracks in tempo and mood, but with the introduction of some new ideas, such as the inclusion of a blues track, "Blue Sky" and the addition of a very dark techno orientated bonus track, "Pulse". Top/ I Love You (Downtown Records, 2009) is the debut album by the Philadelphia-based rapper and singer Amanda Blank. Billboard described the album as "guiltless fun, just like any proper quickie." "A Love Song" contains interpolations of LL Cool J's "I Need Love" and Santigold's "I'm a Lady". Amanda Mallory (a.k.a. Amanda Blank) is an American rapper and singer and member of the performance art band Sweatheart based in Philadelphia. She is also a collaborator with the rap group Spank Rock. Her songs have appeared in HBO's Life Support and CSI: NY Episode "Buzzkill."
