A Fischerspooner Odyssey

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fischerspooner rocked in 2001 with their #1 release which made 80's new wave/synth pop hip again based on the sole strength of Emerge and The #15.



In 2005, Fischerspooner capitalized on their assets and conjured an amazing album which relied less on new wave/synth pop but more on their personal creations of electronica dance rock. The superior Just Let Go picked up where #1 left off and resulted in a stunning anthem-like track. Cloud, co-produced with the famed Mirwais Ahmadzai works equally well with a familiar satrt-stop beginning, retro-electronic and a dream-like chorus. Other winners include the sexy Get Confused and Emerge Part 2, A Kick In The Teeth.



This is definitely a great electronic/dance album not to be missed. The limited edition features expanded artwork (booklet), 2 bonus tracks and a G-force visualizer download link for your PC media player.



If you are not into packaging, the normal edition holds up well!"

Give it a few listens

"at first i was a bit underwhelmed when hearing this album -- nothing really stood out other than some amazing studio production. but as with all great albums eventually, repeated listening has an amazing effect on your first impression.



if you're a dj and don't feel like spending extra $$ on a cd-single release of "just let go" then this version with the bonus tracks is worth the money -- you'd be spending the same amount roughly for the original version of the album + the single combined.



track 3 "never win" was the first one to finally click with me. perfect 21st century electropop. and the "thin white duke" remix of "just let go" with its spooky background synths works wonders on the floors of post-rave underground e.d.m. clubs."

Refreshing journey

"a beautiful sonic landscape lit up by hypnotic, psychedelic treasures that are at times upbeat and groovy, and sometimes mysteriously soothing.



This band should be better known and appreciated. Definitely check it out!"
