The title 'Odyssey' implies an epic journey riddled with arduous quests, obstacles and fiends. The 13 track journey of Fischerspooner's Odyssey is an enjoyable journey of noise with the trademark electro-cool voice as your guide, paying homage to acts such as Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and New Order.

The art-pop duo deliver familiar pulsing beats with melodic and often playful electronic overtones laced with welcome opportunities for hand claps and fist punches. Odyssey has rich dynamics with effective overtones however the sexy lyrics of their previous releases are replaced by a more humanist and even (groan) political content. While there are several slick and sharp tracks on offer, the journey with Fischerspooner this time is one of sunny afternoons rather than cocaine nights.
