`We Are the Night’
EMI
It is hard to expect something significantly new from these iconic initiators of the mid-90s electronic music breakthrough. But chances are also slim that their latest offering will turn out entirely disappointing. Indeed, featuring the voices of rising British and American stars from the band Klaxons to Ali Love and Willy Mason, the tracks offer masterly diversity of dance-floor beats as well as atmospheric psychedelia. The first single-cut ``Do It Again’’ is amusing, fantasy-invoking ``Saturate’’ and almost lyrical ``The Pills Won’t Help You Now’’ are especially impressive. The album is a perfect warm-up for fans awaiting the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, the first day of which will be headlined by the Chems.
