Overview Edit

Odyssey is the second full length album by electroclash duo and performance troupe Fischerspooner, released on April 5, 2005 in the United States, and on April 11 around the world. Despite being recognized as one of the more successful acts from the electroclash scene, Fischerspooner changed their musical direction, and created Odyssey as more of a synthpop record. The album features several guest contributors such as David Byrne, Linda Perry, Hole's guitarist Eric Erlandson, Mirwais and Susan Sontag. The song "Never Win" was featured in the film Grandma's Boy and was included on the soundtrack.

I was even happier when I bought the album and listened to it straight through. Though many signature Fischerspooner sounds remain, these guys have definitely moved out of the electroCLASH genre and into the electroPOP arena. Most…

I have to say, the production and lyrics are much cleaner on this album, which is a big plus, but they really lost some originality in the process. "Cloud", one of the better tracks on here, definitely shows the fingerprints of production assistance from Mirwais, while one of the more mediocre songs ("Ritz 107") sounds like they're channeling Underworld at their worst. The rest of the album presents some really catchy hooks, which is good from the perspective that it will most likely increase th…
