Album Description
After turning the Dance music world on its head with his Metro Area project (alongside collaborator Darshan Jesrani) and mining rare disco gems with the seminal obscure disco DJ mix Unclassics (2004), Geist decided it was time to turn his attention to a solo album that would indulge his own early influences and guilty pleasures: Techno-Pop, Prog Rock and pure Electronic music.

 Retro sounds, mediocre songs November 21, 2008
James F. Mcdermott (Brooklyn NY United States)
Picked this up at Amoeba in LA last week, expected great things and was kinda disappointed. This is a retro sounding project which should appeal to people who want a little fix of 80's sounds, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, etc. The problem is that, unlike those classic record of the 1980's, Morgan Geist just don't write great songs. The beats are monotonous, the hooks just aren't that hooky, and overall, the record just doesn't move me that much. Add vocals and you've got songs, and frankly the songs just aren't memorable.
Honestly, if you like this type of sound, you'd be better served buying records from any of the artists mentioned above, unless you own a dress shop in Soho and you're looking for a new CD to play in the store. Outside of that context, Morgan Geist's new record is just plain.....disposable.
 Love it, love it, love it. October 10, 2008
G. Cochrane (San Francisco, CA)
I love Morgan Geist's new record! Sounding like a bizarre wintertime collab between Vince Clarke, Jan Hammer, and Junior Boys, the album reflects on a dark time in Geist's life. There's a considerable streak of delicious melancholy throughout, but the pointillist synth work and bouncy, restrained drums keep the tears from flowing.
Joined by Junior Boys chanteur Jeremy Greenspan, the record's full of the kind of singing I love to hear on electronic releases. Emotive, pretty and textural without verging into frilly territory. Proper sh#t, as usual, Morgan.
