5.0 out of 5 stars The group that took the 5th step into Rock`n`Roll R Back !!, April 11, 2001

You either loved Sigue Sigue Sputnik or hated them. But what ever your views you could never forget them. In many ways this group were ahead of their time, mixing films, classical music, technology and any other gadget that every kid wanted to own. Quickly dissmised as sounding the same` - That ws the whole idea didn`t you get it ? - The group was soon to fall from grace. But 15 years or so later their back. Now living in the world of cyberspace, the perfect place for them, they`ve released their 3rd album that will surprise those of you that are willing to give it a chance.A mixture of nu-tek (welocme to the 21st centuary), vocoder (cyber thief), Eddie Cockeren guitar riffs (everybody loves you) , Marc Bolan from the 21st centuary (slave trade) and that same sputnik style. They`ve moved on again, still 3 steps ahead of the pack. Make no mistake this IS Rock`n`Roll for the new millenium. Take a risk, take a chance. This is music for the car stero, with your windows down with the volume level cranked up to 11. Buy it, own it, play it.a most welcome return from one of earth`s the greatist groups.

3.0 out of 5 stars few real good songs! a few pretty good songs, a few ok songs, July 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Piratespace (Audio CD)

welcome to the 21st century, everybody loves u, alien@ation and alien christ are really good. the rest are ok/not so good. they're style has changed to fit the newer style of electronic music. slower beats, lyrics that flow into each other (not like flaunt it with random words that happen to rhyme), it's a matured sound but under-produced. if you're a sputfan get it, you'll like enough of it.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik are back with their first new album in 13 years.
And yes, their songs still all sound alike, but now they have a different sound.

Now consisting of only three of their original members--Tony james, Martin Degville and Neal Whitmore--
the New Sputnik has a harsher, more industrial sound. They now sound like a cross between the Old Sputnik and Nine Inch Nails.
Less playful and more aggressive.

The Old Sputnik trademarks are still there: Electronic Drum Machines, Digital Keyboards, Sampled Voices, Computerized Effects,
and plenty of Electric Guitar solos. And Martin Degville's vocals are still processed through countless Digital Effects.
This CD is a virtual orgy of Electricity.

The songs could, however, have benefited from some chord changes.
While the Old Sputnik style was based on a classic "3-Chord-Rock-n-Roll" format, the New Sputnik style
seems to favor a "One-Chord Industrial" format: very few chord changes, no key changes.
Some songe contain only one single melody, repeated over and over... The result is rather mind-numbing after a while,
and the sheer repetitiveness causes most of the songs to seem longer than they really are.

Still, the album is lively and energetic and occasionally spectacular
(like the opening song "Welcome to the 21st Century"),
though there's nothing quite as stunning as "Atari Baby" from their first album.
(This CD could have benefited from a couple ethereal ballads to soften the tone of the album.)

PIRATESPACE is not a bad CD at all, but it is a very different CD...
