Oskar Tennis Champion (Cherry Red #ANALOG 008CD) is a 2003 album by Momus. He described its style as "cabaret concrete": a mix of, "offbeat storytelling," and, "fragmented...computerized beats," referring to his love of singer songwriters such as Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg mixed with his love of musique concrète. A bonus disc, Oscar Originals, contains "PREMIX" track versions and three extras.
