Zircon

As a slight departure from the retro new-wave we have been inspectigating over the past couple weeks I would like to introduce you to a more electronic act. You see, now that I've transported you back to the 80's your mind will so much more astounded by the fruits of modern electronics! Careful though, such amazement is known to cause spontaneous combustion, and that is the last thing that I would want for you, my friends.

The album:



This album is fresh to death. Pretend that a talented DJ asexually reproduced multiple times, that each one of his spawn pursued a different electronic scene, rose to the top of their respective genres, and then collaborated for an album. This junk has straight techno, drum & bass, trance, big beat, and what not, all packed into the same album but all while feeling unified and directed. 

Be prepared for delightful melody and jungly beats, even a talented female vocalist who is featured on two of the tracks! Frankly, the mixing *could* be slightly better, but it's hard to compare anything to the very technical production of Pendulum or Skrillex. Nevertheless, this album does deliver some memorable synth lead parts. Think early Mega Man. Neat. 

Get to it. 

Enjoy.
