...However, it's not just the sound quality of the album itself that will amaze you; the music itself, described by North House as "the lovechild of Bonnie Raitt and Lenny Kravitz" with some Jimi Hendrix and Dave Matthews Band thrown in, is incredible. The music and lyrics for every track were written by Bennett and Warren, and Warren, especially, writes like she's a poet by calling, as in "Babylon": "You live on cigarettes and cherry brine/Your windows translucent and your broken lullaby."

As its name suggests, techno tends to focus on the possibilities of the machine, involving perhaps more daring explorations, although detractors claims that takes away from the music's danceability...
...half-tilt even though the concert tickets said it would start at ten. Then the strains of Imagination's '70s disco classic "Just an Illusion" came over the speakers, a hint of lu Cont's love for good dancing music regardless of its cheesy associations. This segued into the sound of a robotic voice...
