Synopsis

Album Description

The Future Sound Of London's Translations takes their very essence, subverts it, turns it on it's head, twists and nurtures it. This is an album that makes a global journey of rare insight and beauty through the history of musical composition. Translations grew from the seminal 'Papua New Guinea' and is a transportive journey through the world of music and image, an album which is a stepping stone between their former works and their new incarnation.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I really don't know too much about this group, I just caught a catchy version of Papua New Guinea on the Wipeout Fusion soundtrack about two months ago, and couldn't get it out of my head. Soon after I purchased Deluxe Accelerator and Translations, without knowing too much about the overall sound of the group.It took a couple listens, but Translations has been in my car CD player or home ever since. The original 12" mix is great, but some of the true translations are just amazing.If you've ever felt bad cause you've bought an album and play one song to death for months, this is the album for you. You can hear papau new guinea influencing each translation, but the melody and core has been warped far beyond a mere remix. Just buy this album and give it a shot. It's got something for everyone.My personal favorites right now are "the lovers, the big blue, things change..., and requiem.""
