Editorial Reviews :
First released on Munich's fashionable International Deejay Gigolos label back in 2001, Fischerspooner's debut album #1 was an immediate underground sensation. The creation of two New York fashion queens, Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner, it swiftly became the defining example of what clued-up onlookers began to know as electroclash--a brand of synthetic punk music using not guitars and drums, but the traditional tools of the 80s musician: synthesiser, vocoder, sampled handclaps, sequenced bass. Feted in the style press, Fischerspooner became immediate cult superstars--and at the beginning of 2002, signed to Ministry Of Sound for a hefty sum. 'Emerge' is the record's defining moment: a seismic explosion of bass-powered synth-flurries accompanied by a nagging bon vivant mantra--'Looks good / Feels good / Sounds good'--it's up there with Donna Summer 's 'I Feel Love' and New Order 's 'Blue Monday' in the canon of all-time dancefloor classics. And luckily, the rest of the record is almost as good. 'F***er' sounds like a fuel-injected Kraftwerk, all high-speed technoid blips and orgasmic vocoder moans, while 'Turn On' finds Fischerspooner crafting their answer to a straightforward pop song--albeit, one that vogues more than Madonna, and preens more than Prince. It's a fantastic, accomplished debut. --Louis Pattison
Buyer Reviews :
I first listened to #1 a few months ago when I found the European release at a local record shop. I was then, and am still amazed by the work that Casey Spooner and Warren Fischer are yeilding. Considering that Fischerspooner was essentially just an experiment between two art students that knew nothing about electronic music, the end product is, to say the least, inspiring. All songs on this album are catchy, and well done without being over produced. Sweetness is a great opening track, and the perfect introduction to the energy of the group. Emerge is a great pop song, and is responsible for most of F.S's commerical success. In my opinion, Megacolon (track 12) summarizes everything about this band, and you either get that, or you don't. The bonus DVD/EP is reason enough to buy this release. With all the videos to date, a documentary, countless bonus features and a full extended play of Emerge remixes (as well as a 15th, and Invisible re-working) theres no reason not to be satisfied. Like Electro-clash, New Wave, Tech Pop? It doesn't matter. Buy this album.
