5/5 (minimum 1) by glittrgirl on 21 Jun 2007

This is the first CD in a collaboration between Mark E Smith (The Fall) and Jan St Werner and Andi Toma (Mouse On Mars). It is, in fact, everything that LCD Soundsystem would probably like to be. Tromatic Reflexxions is more noisy, deeper, harder, nore challenging and much more sophisticated then either of the last two LCD Soundsystem offerings, and tests anyone's soundsystem to its limits. I can't get enough of this CD. It is simply fantastic, and if you don't buy it and love it then there must be something seriously, and I do mean seriously, wrong with you. No CD has excited me so much in a long, long time.

If you're into garage rock and post-punk, you're probably into The Fall. If you're into electronic music, you're probably into Mouse On Mars. Both bands innovate and take their respective genres in new directions. Their teaming up to make this album is a significant event. Mark E. Smith is at his most melodic, and MoM are at their most danceable. However, the musical and lyrical eccentricity make it a challenging (and only occasionally self-indulgent) album. It never settles into what anyone would call "dance music".

It can be heard either as a MoM album with a additional sonic element or as a Fall album from a parallel universe where the Fall have always been an electronic band rather than a rock band.
