Gods & Monsters
Juno Reactor
Metropolis Records, 2008
Trading in the Tribal influence for Jazz?
+ new music
I was so happy to see a new Juno Reactor album, they were the first 'techno' artist I ever got into, and are easily in the top three. But this was not at all like Juno Reactor. There are usually techno songs with some various tribal influenced songs thrown in. The tribes have been shut down for ...

Sexuality
Sebastien Tellier
Phantom Sound & Vision, 2008
Best Electronic Album of 2008
+ Interesting
If its not enough that the entire album is produce by Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, add the delightfully calming and sensual voice of Tellier; It's an instant hit. Not straight "techno" but at the same time not even electro. The album is mostly composed of half tempo x-rated movie soundtrack beats, ...

Completely under the radar.
+ 2 Sides to Every LP

This album was a bit of a surprise. I had no expectations at all about it. I'm familiar with Boom Bip but wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan. I haven't really payed attention to his career besides what little he did with Doseone back in the days. What really inspired me to check this band out ...
