OSCILLATOR X - TECHNO TECHYES (S.C.I. RECORDINGS) |
| |
Oscillator X's energetic, poppy electronica has enough enthusiasm to counter a tendency toward candy. A degree of versatility ensures that a lapse into bubblegum will be followed (and likely was preceded) by something a bit more substantial. "Techno Techyes" covers a modest but vivacious spectrum of dancehall sounds. In its weaker moments, it veers toward club-friendly sugar, calling to mind happy hardcore only without the uber-aggressive BPM. In its stronger streaks - which outnumber the doses of sugar - Oscillator X demonstrates its verve via fusings of synthpop, trance and the lighter side of electro-industrial, the three frequently co-existing within the being of a single track. While "Techno Techyes" confines its catchiness mostly to the more sparkly, pop-happy side of the dance genre, that is what it obviously means to do, and if an artist is going to do something, he ought to do a good job of it. And if the broad "club" genre is your cup of tea, then grab a cup and some hot water. Visit www.scirecordings.com-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
