Product Description

Album Description
Mylo has produced a refreshing and at times startling debut in the form of Destroy Rock & Roll. Sophisticated electro stabs, classy breaks and fat-bottomed bass lines characterise his rich, varied and well-balanced sound. Influenced by artists such as Prince ("Guilty of Love"), Daft Punk ("Otto's Journey") and even Scissor Sisters ("Musclecar Reform Reprise"), this album includes the high-octane guitar title-track single "Destroy Rock & Roll".

4.0 out of 5 stars Myles better than most, 21 Oct 2004

By	Rob Jones (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In a logical world, the Isle Of Skye's Myles Macinnes would sell albums by the bucketload. There are hints of almost every crtically acclaimed electronic act of the last decade on this very impressive debut.

The euphoric harmonies of R�yksopp are all over "Valley Of The Dolls" and "Need You Tonite", the bluesy piano hook and American soundbites of "Sunworshipper" hark back to David Holmes' Let's Get Killed, and the Kim Carnes-sampling "In My Arms" may well follow Eric Prydz to No.1. The French connection will stick most. Springy single "Drop The Pressure" is textbook Daft Punk, and most tracks suggest he's been taking notes from Mirwais.

But for all its soundalikes, Destroy Rock & Roll is a mixed bag of superior Eurodisco - it may be the year's greatest dance compilation. Strangely, even though the entire set is clearly the work of the same artist, every track is different from the one before. Clever man: he can expect Madonna on the blower any day now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-Notch Dance Music From Scotland, 5 Jul 2004

By A Customer

What can I say about this album ? Worth the admission price for the Kim Carnes-sampling 'In My Arms' alone. Absolutely stunning. I don't often feel compelled to post reviews but this really is something special. Undoubtedly the most impressive debut album I've heard since Circulation's tech-house masterclass 'Colours' in 2000. With people like Mylo and Jori Hulkkonen and Deep Dish around I think it's safe to say the future of dance music is in safe hands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still alive and kicking..., 5 Jan 2006

By	JABITheW (London, UK) - See all my reviews

As a dedicated rock fan I normally have the same desire to seek out new and cutting edge dance and electronica as I do to contract syphilis.

Nevertheless, having heard Mylo's offering on the second Warchild album, I thought I'd give this a go. And I enjoy it. I find it fresh, intelligent and listenable. Especially the title track, though he chose a bad year to assault rock music, which is stronger in 2005 than ever before.

In conclusion, well worth a listen, no matter what you thought your tastes where.

You will notice that everyone compares Mylo to Daft Punk and Royksopp and maybe Lemon Jelly. Well, this is because the music is SO derivative of those acts. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars TOSS!
It's not that I don't like this album, it's more due to the fact that Myles (Mylo) is an idiot. He got a record deal and dumped anyone he knew before the money started rolling in.

5.0 out of 5 stars love it
If all albums were this good, record companies could stop worrying about downloads. No dud tracks, pure inspiration. Bless him for reshaping the 80's. I love this album.
