Some might suggest that Electrasy's rock-techno cross-wiring and importation of styles foreign to their Dorset, England, roots are sure signs of the band's over-eagerness to be all things to all people. Sure enough, they can rap like
Cypress Hill ("Renegades"), reference
Prodigy, ape the angry mannerisms of
Rage Against the Machine ("Foot Soldierz"), and amusingly dupe the
Fun Lovin' Criminals. Tellingly, such contrivances rarely encroach on choruses that, more often than not, proffer fabulously salient rock singalongs in the grand old Anglo guitar-band pop tradition (early demos suggest songwriter Nigel Nisbet might well be the
Roy Wood of the new millennium). Electrasy's 1998 British hit "Morning Afterglow" is equaled by the delightful "Cry," while the gritty "Angel," a frisky waltz through
Jimmy Page's radically reworked "Dazed and Confused," and the national grid power-pop voltage of should-be-hit "Cosmic Castaway" (from the
Titan A.E. soundtrack) are mindblowers.
