\"Information<\/a>It’s worked so far but we’re not out yet. Yes my love of Star Trek was one of the factors behind my purchase of the Information Society.<\/em> The entire thing is laced with little snippets from Star Trek and it was fun to try to place them all. On top of that, I found that I really liked this album. It is largely electronic with good beats, DJ effects and sampling of all kinds of stuff. It really is good.<\/p>\n

I’m sure that music critics who preach purity and that kind of stuff may scoff at Information Society<\/em> but that doesn’t matter to me. Music is a very individualized thing and I refuse to like or dislike something based on what so called experts say. If it moves me, it moves me. I’m going to try to over analyze it, I’m just going to go with it and enjoy whatever it is that I enjoy about it.<\/p>\n

This album is one of those where every track makes you want to move with the music. Is that the definition of infectious grooves? The even jazz up and rework an old ABBA song.\u00a0 All along, the specter of technology looms. Are there any actual instruments on this album? I don’t care, I like the artificial snap of a synthesized snare drum and the multilayered wall of keyboards. I’m sure all that stuff makes the live concert a little underwhelming but it sounds good to me.<\/p>\n
