I'm extremely impressed by the new Machinedrum album, Room(s). Besides being an amazing front to back album with no bad tracks, I feel like it is also pushing music forward in a big way. It takes the frenetic pace of juke house and combines them with some of future garage's stylistic elements, particularly high pitched, warped vocal samples. The result is highly energetic and technical but also aims for the pleasure centers with its melodic sensibilities. It can be exhausting, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Maybe the musical form of ecstasy?
