Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner, collectively known as Fischerspooner, released their debut album "#1" in early 2002. They had already gained worldwide recognition from around 1999 when they started writing, cool, edgy electronic music. "Emerge" was a huge track for them, and it broke into the UK Top 40, which was a rarity for serious electronic artists. The Fischerspooner sound is reminiscent of some old Kraftwerk material, except it has an edgier, ...

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: I'm now £9 poorer

...is the drum n bass in this album? Unless I'm mistaken, one of the tracks on here is guitar based and could be classed as a rock song. Nothing against rock but if I wanted a rock song I'd have bought one. Annoying synthesizer most of the way through, half hearted feeble bass line when there is one at all. Average easy going album, just don't buy this album if you are a hard drum n bass fan. You will be very disappointed. It is a shame that Pendulum ... Read review

Advantages: It's JMJ!
Disadvantages: Sounds a bit too much like other stuff in certain places

...to the same themes. Oxygene 7 reminds me of something from Bladerunner if I'm honest but is still a great track. Oxygene 8, One of my personal faves & I never understood why this wasn't released as a single as it had all the right ingredients to be a dance hit & make JMJ a household name. This wouldn't be out of place in any club & would certainly find a willing audience in places lke Ibiza. Oxygene 9, It has more elements of Pink Floyd & Magnetic ...
...back in about 1980. Oxygene 11, another one that reminds me too much of Magentic Fields & Equinoxe Oxygene 12, another track that could have been released as a single & would have easily found an audience in the clubs. Also has elements that remind me Bladerunner (its that background arpeggio!). Oxygene 13, this is very definately the most Oxygene-esque of all these tracks ( as I recall this was normally one of the last tracks he played at the ... Read review

Advantages: As good as being there
Disadvantages: No fireworks.

...night Mike Mansfield shot his Destination Docklands Video. Track 1 is a short intro version of Revolutions which I don't remember being played on the night itself at all. Track 2 is Industrial Revolutions Overture which was recorded on the 2nd of the 2 nights (I can tell because theres no 2nd set of cheering near the start when they screwed up getting one of the projections back to front then upside down) Track 3 is Industrial Revolutions parts ...
...mainly reactions to projections & some fireworks, you are hearing the console master version of the music so you won't hear any of the fireworks in the background as all the mics are aimed the stage. Crowd reactions were louder than the fireworks! Track 4 is Magnetic Fields part 4, one of JMJ's staples which is very well received. Track 5 is Oxygene 4 which gets a great reaction to all the fireworks & projections again. Track 6 is Computer Weekend, ... Read review

Advantages: ENDLESS
Disadvantages: NONE

Experience by The Prodigy - one of the best albums ever! I first bought this album when I was about 10 years old in the 90's. This is The Prodigy's first ever album in the dawining of the 'rave' era in the 1990's. Containing absloute classics such as 'Out Of Space', 'Everybody's In The Place' , 'Charlie' and much more. I cannot praise this album enough, it is the catalyst that got me into electronic music. All of thetracks on it are geniously produced ...
