Fischerspooner, #1

By Dale Miller

This is the future of electronic music–or at least for the next couple of months.

Some call it synthcore, some call it electroclash; it’s really just a reincarnation of electro, mashed with pop, vocals and really annoying sounds like pneumatic drills. This genre of rehashing was pretty much started by Fischerspooner with their hit song Emerge, a single quite a while ago, which is easily the best song on #1.

The tracks on this album belong in record cases and mixed sets–a whole single-artist CD is too much. I can pretty much guarantee that people will not listen to this CD in two years time, it will get old and stale very fast. I blame the pneumatic drills.
