GusGus VS T-World - GusGus VS T-World (CD)




GusGus is a band from Reykjavík, Iceland. Iceland, the country of Bjork, Sigur Rós and The Sugarcubes. T-World was the pre-GusGus project of Biggi Veira & Herb Legowitz. They disbanded in 1995 in order to form GusGus. There`s 7 tracks for a total running time of 54.46 minutes. I do a little research. They have three recordings available. A single (vinyl, 12", 33 RPM, Promo), an EP and this self-titled album. They called their music ambient house. After numerous listens, I have to disagree with them. The songs are all different in styles. They`re a mixture of electronic, dub techno, minimal house, electro, and downtempo. This album came out in 2000 and still sounds good today, a rare treat in modern music industry. Standout tracks this time around are:
4 – purple (9.20 minutes) = electro + progressive house = it`s on like Donkey Kong on the dance floor baybee!
5 – rosenberg (6.27 minutes) = dub techno + dark techno / electro = pure aural bliss.       

I like this and you should. I mean, if you`re into electronic music or if you`re a little bit curious / with an open mind / ear. Otherwise keep your FM radio station on. To think I bought this gem at Renaissance Montréal for a measly two dollars (cheaper than a pack of smokes). Get your info here: https://www.oz.com/gusgus
