Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If her 1999 debut album reflected the post-folk, torch-singing side of ex-One Dove vocalist Dot Allison's character, so this sophomore effort, We Are Science, demonstrates quite a different facet, with much of the album taking its cue from eighties pretenders Fischerspooner or the avante electrosonics of Adult. The songs are still here of course, with the dirge-like title track and repetitively voxed "I Think I Love You" countered by the stirring "Strung Out" and aching "Lover," both of which feature Mercury Rev's Grasshopper, but where the first album married odd collaborators with an expansive cast of musicians, this second is a much more low-key affair, with Allison and Lone Swordsman Keith Tenniswood's production less acid-house than quiet-night-in-the-living room material. --Kingsley Marshall

Dot returns with a superbly refreshing follow-up to her debut 'colour me'. Laden with darkened lyrics and atmospheres 'we are science' is a fantastic transformation of her debuts alt-country melodies into electro-beat grooves. This is Highlighted best by tracks like 'Sunstance' and 'hex' which are perfect examples of Dot's new found electro prowess. whilst tracks like 'wishing stone' and 'performance' hark back to the original debut sound. overall Dot has manufactured a superb follow-up using her great voice to its full potential.Morecambe

Very nice, very chilled, super sexy Dot gives us a super relaxed 80's influenced lazy night in.

In my opinion, this CD has two good(ish) tracks, "Strung Out" and "Lover", where the sound gets thickened out by guitars and some bottom end is added to the mix.
The better tracks remind me of the Velvet Underground's quieter bits gone techno. Twangy guitars with a nice drum machine. Oh, and "performance" is not too bad although I wish it didn't sound like a slowed down remix of "Strung Out"
The rest of the CD sounds a bit like something out of some 1982 bedroom studio, noughties sound quality but lots of bleeps and arcade sounds, thin, sparse vocals and precussion. A soulless heap of rubbish, actually.
