In no small part responsible for the electro-clash movement a few years back, Fischerspooner combined anthemic synth lines, punkish beats and over-the-top glam in their live performances to create quite a cult following. "Odyssey" is a new direction for the band, one where electro-pop replaces electro-clash and cerebral replaces glam- it seems as though they have been listening to a lot of Her Space Holiday as of late. Although this may initially appear off-putting, it actually works in Fischerspooners' favor as this is truly an accomplished album. Complete with live instrumentation, thought provoking lyrics and beautifully meandering movements, this could mark their cross over from dance-floor heroes to respected musicians- grows on you like a fungus. --Alex Slawson and Herman Snell
