Negative Positive
Title: pure techno - better than most
Review: This album sometimes gets a bad rap because the the most popular singles (Texas Cowboys, Swamp Thing) while well executed dancefloor stompers, suffer from all the "rave" trappings of its day including electronic "hand claps" and "siren" sounds. Yet, as a whole, the album is so technologically slick and melodically precise that you can't help but be drawn to repeated listenings. Those with patience will be rewarded by Robert Fripp's soaring guitars (Higher Peaks, Throb), and the operatic vocal stylings from Martyn Sharp (Golden Dawn). This album is a sure bet for any electronic dance fan.
