Explosive indeed...,
This review is from: Explosive Piece of Mind (Audio CD)
Like Beck serving Depeche mode afternoon tea at the precise moment that the Aphex Twin drives his tank through the living room wall. There's a fierce intelligence at work here that is hard to fault, even when creating the dubious new genre of humourous techno on Bodily Functions (shame he fades it though - boo, hiss!)The lyrics are sometimes cut and paste jobs, but thoughtful and affecting for all that... Remote Control and Salt Solution stand out particularly. The programming is superb: he knows just how to get some downright funky mechanical grooves going, then elsewhere sending everything into hyperspace as with the track Alphawaves, which is like a superfast Autechre without the encumbrance of being on an album of similar impenetrability. Guitars and messed around samples are also scattered throughout, yet the music never drowns in its own inventiveness, and at a concise 42 mins or so definitely leaves this listener wanting to hear more rather than less. Overall verdict? One of the most intriguing, audacious and sexy pieces of thumping old style/new style/who cares electronica you're likely to hear this year. Makes me want to laugh, dance, cry and all manner of things which one usually tries to avoid doing on public transport.

Beyond comparison... but I'll try,

This review is from: Explosive Piece of Mind (Audio CD)
Explosive Piece of Mind is currently the first thing I listen to on my MP3 player (followed closely by Cursor Miner's second album) which means that Ladytron's albums have, after some time, been relegated to third and fourth place. Believe me, that says a lot about how much I love this music.If you're unable to listen to any samples from this album then I'd suggest taking a little Madness, mix in some Hazel O'Connor, add a dash of early Art of Noise and finally a pinch of Yello. That's probably not a good way of describing the music but it's as close as I can get. Only when my MP3 player is pumping this aural pleasure into my head do I fully understand the meaning of battery powered joy.
