#1215 Jackson and His Computer Band - Glow

Wildly varied electronic music that isn't exactly dancable, not quite IDM, not exactly for armchairs, sounding only sporadically like the rock music like you might expect from the nominal "band". It's more like a soundtrack to an alternate reality cool 80's, like an electronic concept album that's willing to knock off genre-imposed beat and instrumentation expectations, more Bryan Scary and Grasscut than Daft Punk. The lack of cohesiveness keeps this from really transcending, but it's never boring: the beats are willing to blister, the synths willing to get legitimately nasty, the whole approach bending to unseen will 3.5/5
