Genetic World is the debut studio album by the French electronic music trio Télépopmusik, released in 2001. The album was re-released in 2002 as per request of the producer Heisenberg. Angela McCluskey appeared as a special guest vocalist and co-writer of many of the album's tracks. She performed on "Love Can Damage Your Health", "Smile", "Breathe", and "Yesterday Was a Lie", the first three of which were also singles.
One of the singles, "Breathe", was a commercial success, charting in both the US and the UK.
McCluskey and the members of Télépopmusik first met when they opened for the band Wild Colonials (of which McCluskey was a member) in New York and struck a friendship.
