 Get the Japanese Import November 6, 2008
James Zimmerman
So BT's rereleased this album and changed the tracklist somewhat... notably, adding "Kimosabe" and "The Revolution", both incredibly strong tracks that were, until the rerelease, homeless.
The issue is that BT's cut some killer tracks as well... "Circles" is one of my favorite tracks from the record and it's been axed to make way for Kimosabe. Not that Kimosabe isn't a great song, but I don't think BT was wise to play fast and loose with the content of what always was a spectacular album.
If you're a true blue BT fan I recommend trying to find a copy of the Japanese import of the record... it contains the ORIGINAL tracklist, plus "Kimosabe", "The Revolution", and "Love in the Time of Theives"... the three new tracks that appear on this disc. It also has "Tao of the Machine", a track BT did with the Roots which is pretty bangin'. The Japanese import even has MOST of the track remixes that the 2007 reissue of the disc has.
So, long story short, if you're gonna go all out and get a two-disc version of this record, spend the little extra and dig up a Japanese copy of the record; you shant be disappointed

I found out about BT from a guy I work with. He said that BT was really a Techno artist, so that was pretty much what I was expecting. Wow, was that ever wrong. The songs have everything from techno to ballads to Gospel, with amazing chords, funky bass lines, and pillow-smooth multi-part harmonies. This is now my favorite CD...finally, I have found something to replace Seal's "System".
Standouts on "Emotional Technology" include "Dark Heart Dawning" (Track 6) and "The Only Constant is Change" (Track 13). It is worth buying the CD for these 2 alone. For best results, play on a premium sound system with extra bass and a drink in hand, and experience what great music really is. Don't miss the boat on this one...get it now.

Emotional Technology picks up right where Movement In Still Life (European-Yellow Cover-1999) leaves off. He starts this album with the same sounds he used to end his last one, signifying that BT is back, and it's the same BT you've always known- only with a more vocal approach.
I love the way that he can go from genre to genre in from one song to another. From the rap/breakbeat 'Knowledge of Self' to the electronic pop-sounding song 'Superfabulous,' to the pure-bread electronica track 'Somnambulist,' to the slowed down, heartfelt 'The Force of Gravity,' to the soul of 'Dark Heart Dawning,' you can tell that you're listening to true talent at work.
The album begins to slow down in the middle of 'The Force of Gravity' (yes, in the song) but by no means is that a bad thing. 'Dark Heart Dawning,' 'The Great Escape,' and 'PARIS' are astounding songs, just with a slower tempo. Then it comes in with one of my favorite BT songs, 'Circles,' slows down a bit with 'The Last Moment of Clarity,' goes acoustic/electric with 'Animals,' and ends with another heartfelt song, 'The Only Constant Is Change."
As you can clearly see, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions, ideas, and music styles. If you're a new BT listener, you MUST hear this because you will not be dissappointed. If you're a long time BT fan, what have you been waiting for? Buy this CD now!
