Amazon.co.uk Review
Was there ever a band that were more victims of media hype than Fischerspooner? Lauded and damned by the fickle music rags in almost the same week. However, those who kept the faith will be rewarded because Odyssey is actually very good.
Was there ever a band that were more victims of media hype than Fischerspooner? Lauded and damned by the fickle music rags in almost the same week. However, those who kept the faith will be rewarded because Odyssey is actually very good.
On first listen, the album seems to retread some of the themes of debut album #1. However, repeat listens and immediate highlights like "Never Win" show that the hooks are bigger, the tunes are stronger, and the squelchy bits are squelchier- all of which adds up to a lush and enjoyable album. Fischerspooner may not win awards for their lyrics or vocals, but that's not what this is about. As far as modern-retro soundscapes go, this is a winner.
One could argue that the wealth of outside collaborations (Mirwais, Linda Perry, and producer Tony Hoffer) add a few stitches to the Emperor's New Clothes, but this is doing a disservice to strength of tunes that Fischerspooner have provided. And on this base, they've created a worthy sophomore effort. --Thom Allott
Description
Second album, following 2002's '#1', from camp New York "electroclash" duo whose music recalls the 80s synthpop sound of The Human League, Depeche Mode and Giorgio Moroder. Employing the talents of songwriter Linda Perry and French producer Mirwais, this more organic effort finds them sounding likea full band, adding a propulsive rock drive without losing any of their sleazy pop savvy. This limited edition featurestwo bonus tracks and the video for single 'Just Let Go'.
