Get one thing straight: Techno is merely the fairy dust sprinkled atop another massive, brilliantly conceived slab of dense, drug-like rock & roll from the only band this side of the Smashing Pumpkins who could pull off such a feat. Mainstream audiences are desperate for something fresh yet familiar, and this Warholian treatise on the plasticity of pop culture expertly mixes new sonic colors with the band’s signature art-rock genius. “Discotheque” is an exhilarating opener, “Staring at the Sun” is their answer to relative upstarts Oasis’s hit “Wonderwall,” and “If God Will Send His Angels” has the makings of a crossover anthem. This is U2 in peak unit-shifting form. - -Jeff Bateman The first album made under the band name Trotsky Icepick was a masterpiece of wry, literate pop.

Today, one of the truly awesome bands in the Video Game Music “scene” released a super cool video of their newest song, a mash-up of music from the game Gears of War and the Tears For Fears song “Mad World”, (specifically the REM version) which the company that published Gears of War famously used in their TV advertisement : Watching this video (which I suggest you do!) tells you almost everything you need to know about Armcannon; they’re clever, adept at their instruments, metaltastic, funny, and they do music from video games. Get equipped with: Mega Pizza Boots! It’s almost unfair to call the band a “VGM band” (in fact, I am not even sure the band calls itself that), because while this album is MOSTLY about video games, it’s bookended by two covers of ultra-famous themes from anyone’s 80′s childhood. The first is the theme to the original “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” (titled “ Morty Miphon ” in one of MANY spoonerisms used by the band when making titles). http://albumdujour.wordpress.com/
