Allthough I am a fan of gus gus's previous layered, textured , calmer releases, I LOVE this new sound. I had been waiting for a good dance record and when I least expected it gus gus drops a few members, gets a new label, and a flashdancey classy makeover. NOT what I expected, but Fabulous none the less. This record is intelligent, sexy, and refreshing. I wouldn't be interested in another Polydistortion, though just as marvelous , I really enjoy this new direction, and hope they continue to grow, and be innovative. YAY! for creativity, why does everyone want to buy the same album over and over?

5.0 out of 5 stars Achtung!, September 24, 2002

This is a disc that appeals on many levels. Grooves, beats and lyric hooks get you right away, but nice synthesis, interesting engineering choices and odd beats keep the attention after repeated listens. Keeping attention isn't usually accomplished by dance albums, and this is most definitely a dance album. Lyrics are minimal and repeated, with no real attempt at song structure except for "Call of the Wild", which they didn't pen. Gus Gus chicken-steps their funky way acrss many genres, never failing through mere audacity and peculiarity. There are many shameless throwbacks to synthesis and dance music of the 70's and 80's, while going farther into the future with some sound treatments that are more edgy and noisy than most of their contemporaries. Yes, hi-hats are clipping, and that's a good thing. Gus Gus isn't out to be your typical dance band. You need to listen to catch the subtlety and the campy tongue-in-cheek dance audacity. That necessary attention is what makes them so valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT..., August 29, 2002

If electronic music can get any better than ATTENTION then... it must be heaven like! I'm already above cloud 9 with some serious breakbeats, deep house and some freash electroclash sounds on what I think is GUSGUS most stylish, well thought and crafted work till today, think about it as Giorgio Moroder meets Deee-Lite.
From start to end the sounds and beats develop from soft to deep to hard. Tracks # 3,4,5,6 & 7 are by far the best tracks and "Your Moves are mine" will make even DISCO song "Love to Love You Baby" sound PG13.
For the first time the lyrics are more people like and more soulful and Udur's voice is just amazing!
