As far as I know, there's no album planned.... Stardust was a one-off
project by Thomas Bangalter one-half of Daft Punk. It was originally
released as a 1-sided 12" on his own label, Roule. There was a 2x12" of
remixed released a while ago, but I never picked it up. Thomas Bangalter
has done a number of other solo records on Roule, like the two Trax on
the Rocks 12"'s, and Spinal Scratch (never heard that one).... along
with remixes of Roy Davis Jr. and Vertigo on Roule. It's all great
stuff..... 

Also, there's a nice Thomas Bangalter remix of another clubby house
track with Jane Fonda samples called "Gym and Tonic" on Bob Sinclar's
full-length album, "Paradise." The original was (I believe) a
collaboration between Bob Sinclar and Thomas Bangalter released using
the name "Spacedust" on Warner UK.... coincidence?

And who says this isn't IDM related? I know Colongib is a closet
Stardust fan.... :)
