| Notes | Tycho's second album, following their critically-acclaimed first album Cassiopeia. |
The latest offering from Brisbane's Tycho Brahe features something old, something new, but it's all pure, unashamedly '80s-inspired electro pop. The band, built around the nucleus of Ken Evans and Georgina Emery, take their inspiration from the likes of Georgio Moroder and Human League; indeed, the band's early cover of HL's Marianne has been dressed up for its inclusion here and fits seamlessly into the album. One of Tycho's most distinctive tunes, Avarice, released previously as a single, is also included in two versions. The latter is a remix, interesting mainly for showing how the '80s inspired sound has been adapted to the techno dance floor. This is the land of electric dreams made with layers of synthesised drum and effects. A guitar lead gets a look in on Free, one of the album's few slower tracks, where the counterpoint between male and female vocals is particularly effective. It's the dance-oriented tracks that really respond to the synthesised bass lines, though; the single Don't Feel That Way, Avarice and a resurrected Throwaway Fashion are highlights on a solid outing. - Jason Nahrung
