Although still relying heavily on their techno roots, Digital Poodle actually
is able to pull off a their first solid electro album in years. The music
still remains upbeat and club friendly but without all of the dated percussion
and samples they have chosen to use previously. This also continue to utilize
minimalism as their key composition technique. Now while, generally speaking I
fail to understand the 'less depth is better', concept, it actually works
rather well on this album. I actually looked forward to listening to this album
again after the first listen rather than wondering why it sounded as if it was
recored in the eighties. The key reason for the strength of the album has to be
the inclusion of a new sound library, because no other reason could properly
explain the vast difference in quality between this and all other previous
albums. In conclusion, this album will most certainly appeal to a new audience
as well as avoiding alienating their old fans with a drastic change of
style.
