Second album from this 
Reykjakik, Iceland band (formed in 1995). This is my second Gus 
Gus listening experience. I reviewed `Gus Gus vs T-World` 
(their fourth release) some time ago. It had elements of dub techno, trance, 
breaks, progressive house, techno, electro and downtempo. This album is slightly 
different it offers a nice variety of music styles: electronic, lounge, 
chill-out, techno, electro with lots of sonic experimentations going on. Some 
tracks are song oriented (or spoken word oriented in some cases) while other 
pieces are slightly instrumental numbers. I`ve been hearing this my whole 
weekend, this recording is amazing all the songs are good (in their own 
respective style). You want standout tracks? Well the whole album is standout 
material. At this time my favorite pieces are
# 3 – Believe = electro / 
electronic / weirdo techno = hit material indeed.
# 4 – Polyesterday = 
haunting / sensuous vocals + smooth, relaxing electro = need I say 
more.
# 5 – Barry = nu-jazz + 
electro + chill-out + trip hop influences = pure aural bliss. Highly 
recommended. To think it cost me only 2.00$ at my favorite Renaissance 
Montréal store. There is a God after all.
