The Crystal Method
Vegas
[City of Angels/Outpost]
Rating: 8.9
I was sure, yes sure for a moment. No question. My ears were actually
trying to seperate themselves from my head for a moment so that they could
drop down to my desk and dance! They were twitching of their own volition,
and my shoulders were sprinkled with tiny curly ear-hairs dislodged during
the phenomenon. Ears know best.
Vegas is the sort of techno that I love to hear at raves -- it's
gut-quiveringly powerful yet garnished with enough voice and surprises to
suggest a spirit in the machine. Stuffed with variety and changes in tempo
and dynamics, I expect at least 100 listens before I remove it from my
player (assuming that my ears can last that long attached to my head). Shut
your eyes, look into the flashing lights, let your body move and hold onto
your ears. Good tunes.
