Rated 5/5
Review by ShampooCell May 26, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
I can say without qualification that this will go down as my favorite album of the decade. It's strikingly brilliant through and through, start to finish. Mylo will get your ass out of your seat and dancing, and if you're not the dancing type, you'll wiggle in your chair a bit and sway to the music.

This is everything that electro should be -- pumping, danceable and catchy. "Guilty Of Love" is the standout track to my ears, and sadly it has thusfar failed to get as much attention as some of the others. The Popular Computer remix of "In My Arms" is the other standout in this album of standouts.

About a two-and-a-half-year wait for this to finally see a U.S. release; for me, though, it was worth the wait. Mylo really came out of nowhere to move dancefloors all over the world with a CD that is chock full of hits. I cannot for the life of me get "Sunworshipper", "Musclecars", and especially "Guilty Of Love" out of my head - even if I was lobotomized. Some of the sounds he uses may be repetitive; but remember, this was made on a G4 with probably only a few software programs. If Mylo's a millionaire, or at least if he has some cash to spend, hw can buy more gear to create more effects and avoid recycling for the sophomore disc. That's just a minor quibble to me. Very unexpected first impression from this Scot. See? Even YOU can make a good record if you try hard.
Rated 5/5
Review by distantHum Apr 21, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Although some have noted that track 8 samples Negativland's "Michael Jackson" from their classic "Escape From Noise", the sample source is actually the same for both songs: an obscure record featuring the infamous cult Church Universal & Triumphant (now also known as "The Summit Lighthouse").
On the record, their leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and other church leaders, lead worshippers through rapidly repeated prayers ("decrees") that the entire church says in unison - something along the lines of having a large room full of auction callers rapidly reciting the same passage.
The "Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, etc" portion of the recitation is a condemnation of rock-n-roll read by a church leader, and is the only one of the "decrees" that is actually understandable.
A brilliant use of this sample - arguably better than Negativland's use of it.
