5.0 out of 5 stars Maxx Klaxon, June 23, 2007

You could throw around generous descriptors and any number of genre-locking terms - Synth pop, Electro this or that, Synthoid FuturePop - but you'd still fail to get to the center of Maxx Klaxon. He is speaking to us at times as a pop-star dictator and then he slips into story telling with clever political undercurrents. You almost wish you could see Dick Cheney and Karl Rove do a jitterbug to it, on acid, at a desert rave. Maxx's cover of Leonard Cohen's 'First we Take Manhattan" is a standout classic. When we get to the subject of Love..........Well, lets just say "Someone Goes Down Easy--:)-- in Italy of course." Great sign of promise from New York's growing electronic scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars A striking and eclectic first release, danceable and moody..., June 12, 2007

Mr. Klaxon's brand of Better Mind Control is in heavy rotation on my player. The remake of Iron Maiden's Die With Your Boots On captures the power of the heavy metal original because, not in spite of the understated beats and almost spoken delivery. Italian Ice is catchy and self-subverting, and I dig it. And I want a ride on a vespa now...
