Editorial Reviews
15-track debut album. Digitalism's debut album 'Idealism' is already one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year. Although it's still early days, the Hamburg-based duo have three EPs under their belt (released on the Franco-Japanese label Kitsun‚, and featuring "Zdarlight", one of last year's hottest club anthems) plus several critically acclaimed remixes (of tunes by Depeche Mode, Klaxons and Daft Punk, among others). Digitalism has built itself a solid reputation and stands ready to ride the new electro wave currently breaking over dance floors worldwide (sparked by Justice, Does It Offend You Yeah?, MSTRKRFT, Simian...). Digitalism's own, ever-evolving gig set-up is becoming less like a porta-studio on stage, and more like a band set-up incuding live vocals and drums. This side of the band is set to grow even more this year. There has not been an electronic act with the potential to cross over on such a scale since the Chemical Brothers. It's been a long wait! EMI. 2007.

Personally, techno has to be really great in order for me to buy it. After seeing Digitalism's video for 'Pogo' I was hooked right away. The catchy song is impossible to get out of your head. Looking for good beats? Check out the album's first track 'magnets'. The beats pulse in your vanes, driving you to dance. I highly recommend this to any dance/techno fan.

I'm glad I found Digitalism. It's definitely a more upbeat party-type of electronic music, and I absolutely love it. If you like Daft Punk you'll totally love this. I'm trying to figure out for myself if I actually like it more...

80's new wave and rock have obviously left their stamp on these adorable geeks with delicious gadgets and instruments. I saw them at Coachella and their live shows live up to the great awe of their music. Much like the great French electric duos such as Daft Punk and the new Justice, Digitalism makes heavy/industrial influenced music (probably inspired by legendary artists like Dieselboy, Venetian Snares, VNV Nation) happy, fun, and full of awesomeness.

Tries at everything, succeeds at nothing
This is one of those albums that you put on as background noise at a party. It all sounds relatively different but I can guarantee no one will ask you what it is. Read more
