    Perhaps the strongest full-length electronic release from Denmark since Trentemoller's "The Last Resort," Standing on Top of Utopia found the DJ/producer creating not merely a solid album but a strong and surprising one.

    Standing on Top of Utopia is a strong album, but utopia also means "an illusion"–a non-existent place–and sometimes it sounds like too many moods under one cover.

    Bjorke's ear candy is delightful when consumed, but rarely worth a repeat. Still, Bjorke has plenty of sonic reach, and his album is worth a spin to find the scattering of gems.
