DJ ME DJ YOU, "RAINBOWS AND ROBOTS"

The work of Craig Borrell& Ross Harris can be heard on the MoWax release "Contacto Espacial"by Sukia, as the two comprise 2/3 of the group.
The work of Craig Borrell& Ross Harris can be heard on the MoWax release "Contacto Espacial"by Sukia, as the two comprise 2/3 of the group. Other handiwork includevarious remixes of folks like Fantastic Plastic Machine and TakakoMinekawa. Following last year's debut EP, this is their firstfull-length record, released by Emperor Norton. It's a perfect exampleof electronica mediocrity - dance music for rock fans. Littered withtons of recognizable samples and predictable melodies, the disc is adecent head bobbing record but nothing exciting enough to shout about.Too much lounge and 60s samples can overkill an album which could haveused a little more time and focus on musical elements, melody andharmony writing could have used a boost. The group is rounded out by awide array of additional musicians and I can give credit for a verynice production job. The live instrument playing is exceptional, butwell, the end result just isn't for me.
