“Electronic” Reviews

Solid singles aside, Witching Hour feels generic when compared to 2002’s Light & Magic.

A gentle and thoughtfully ambient sound that always seems to remain a welcome and warming listen.

Hood’s music, even in EP form, is as mercurial and affecting as ever, while still managing to hint at exciting things that may come.

Epic45 belongs to a small cadre of bands that, for the purposes of this review, I am going to term “nostalgists.”

A very solid and engaging blend of acoustic and electronic sounds.

All in all, one of the best dance albums this year.

The talent is clearly there, but they don’t make use of it on a large portion of the album.

Electronic praise songs are what Antidote gives to a growing Christian dance scene.

Unlike some bands that “drum and bass” is attached to, Faith Massive are all about the groove and the mood, as opposed to flashing the mad skillz.

You get the feeling you could see entire seasons pass with this record on the changer, falling in and out of love and hate as it plays on.

The trans-Channel duo have chosen to release an even more hushed and muted collection of songs.

The new disc is far less skronky and cacophonous, its melodies having been burnished to a chrome-like, Euro-chic sheen.

This is just confirmation that Air is one of the greatest bands around right now.

Challenging while still entertaining, Air’s latest work should go over well with those looking for a late-night mood album.

A classic in the same league as all of their previous albums.

Forgettable, obviously churned out to fill a niche, and reeking of assembly line workmanship.

The album often lacks focus, resulting in a disc that is just as spotty and uneven as its predecessor.

Hood updates their pastoral post-rock with glitchy electronics and Anticon hip-hop to create a compelling wintry sound.

Rainstick Orchestra’s music doesn’t quite come together in a way that ultimately satisfies.

Understated, subtle, patiently constructed electronic pop at its finest.
