Odyssey:Fischerspooner

Title: Odyssey

Label: Capitol

Genre: electro-pop

Rating: 5.9 of 7

Way back in 1998 in the lovely town of New York City was born an enigmatic duo featuring a classically trained musician and video-artist/experimental theatre performer. Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner were some bastard child of the odd couple. Using their combined special powers, the duo began to create electro-pop/new wave songs that concentrated heavily on the performance. Taking a page from David Bowie, the newly born Fischerspooner created stage shows with 20+ dancers and music that could hypnotize you into a dancing zombie. For their third full-length, they have moved much more into the pop section of electro-pop. Handling vocal duties themselves for the first time, they come off as a techno Postal Service. It’s not bad, but it takes that acquired taste that many people are already jaded from. For a more ambitious track, make sure you check out #11, when everything goes completely haywire.
