...jump-up drum 'n bass. Don't understand the genre-codes of electronic music? Here's a quick translation: this is good dance music. Aphrodite, the nom de turntable of Gavin King, is well known in the British underground for his past work alongside Mickey Finn and his remix of Nine Inch Nails' "Perfect Drug." Though his recent releases have been criticized as too mainstream, this album proves that dance music can be accessible without losing touch with its roots. The beats are as solid and inventive as one would expect from an artist who has been at the epicenter...
...someone who composes his music from recombinations of pre-existing sound fragments, a remix album is certainly appropriate. Subliminal Minded, DJ Spooky's follow-up to last year's Riddim Warfare, combines remixes, sound collages and general mayhem in a sonic soup that is equal parts John Cage, Sun Ra, Grandmaster Flash, and Aphrodite. DJ Spooky, a. k. a. That Subliminal Kid, a. k. a. Paul D. Miller, is a founder of the New York illbient sound, which blends the urban, rhythmic edge of hip-hop, dub and jungle with the abstract, ambient noise techniques of French musique concrte...
...chosen a better name, because that is exactly what one likes about this album, everything but the you-know-who. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt firs came out in 1982 with a jazz-pop sound, and people kind of liked them then.

Temperamental is a post-trolling album; it whiffs like vapor. It is typically morose and introspective; you could mistake...
Electro pop. Spicy trip-hop. Techno funk. This Is Normal is anything but. Therein lies the beauty of GusGus' artistry. For anyone who's bored of the mainstream and who cringes at the thought of another lousy remix, it's refreshing to hear such unconventional fusions of sounds. Trance-like rhythms combine with ethereal vocals to form much of the soundscape in this new album from Iceland's remarkably unique pop group. In the wake of their first experimental album Polydistortion, GusGus emerges more enchanting than before. Having already established a reputation for flair and soulful character, the band returns...
...first song is a remix. In fact, it's a custom remix. The owner of the jukebox has cooked up this diddy all by himself. From the looks of the fellow, we have high expectations. He's clearly very hip. He's wearing a bright orange, Sunkist rain coat. He carries a sign that reads, `I'm Kurt Loder's love child." Very creative...
