CD Review: Fischerspooner,"Odyssey"

New York duo Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner--who made their unique mark in the otherwise copycat electronica movement with 2002's "#1"--return with their sophomore release, the appropriately titled "Odyssey."

The new collection is anything but a carbon copy of its predecessor. The duo manages to take a step back from their previous, all-electronic soundscapes, and instead use many real instruments. Despite the human touches, however, the electronic atmosphere remains intact.

Fischer and Spooner's imaginative ways of fusing pulsating keyboards, guitars and dark effects on "Just Let Go" and "Never Win," and the arrangement of live, tribal drumming on "Everything to Gain," show that they're more than just an electronic combo; they're sonic artists who create a distinct and futuristic aura.
