Doesn't quite reach the artistic heights of The Notwist's similar "Neon Golden," nevertheless "Faking The Books" contains some extremely catchy and gorgeous songs that sound best when played over and over and over...

A very enjoyable album. It gives that great tipe of prot-techno that has all but disappeared in modern electornica. A great throwback to the days of Kraftwerk. And the tracks are really tight. The Chord progressions work, and the synth lines are rather progressive

proves that rock and techno can go hand in hand You don't need computers to make techno, their sound creates the same atmosphere just like can did in the seventies playing at festivals this summer be sure to check them out

This album is listed by genre as electronic and you'll have to find it at the dance section at the store, but if your idea of electronic is early New Order fronted by the singer of Young Marble Giants (or if that's too obscure, maybe Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo), then you should enjoy this. It very well could also appeal to Radiohead Heads (count me in) who appreciate the later stuff. Fully half of the songs seem rock to me. Anyhow, I hope the ravers don't think they've turned their backs on them and the rockers give it a chance.
