Customer Reviews
Worth listening to
I think this CD is great. Sure, some songs are not that good, but some like magnets, anything new, the pulse and echoes are really worth the while. I like the acid electro-punk side those songs have.
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this group.
incredible
I'm glad I found Digitalism. It's definitely a more upbeat party-type of electronic music, and I absolutely love it. If you like Daft Punk you'll totally love this. I'm trying to figure out for myself if I actually like it more...
Addictivism
Yeah, I know that isn't a word, but I have German duo Digitalism and their album Idealism in front of me, so I thought I'd just add another -ism to fit in. Anyway, this album is pretty solid.
I don't know why, but when I first heard the name Digitalism, I thought it referred to an underground rapper. At any rate, there are nice danceable tracks like "Jupiter Room", "Zdarlight" (good luck trying to pronounce that) and "The Pulse". And while the cut-up sample of the Cure's "Fire in Cairo" for "Digitalism in Cairo" seems a little lazy, its counterpart "Departure from Cairo" fares much better.
I didn't really care for the opening track "Magnets" either. While I think it's too soon to compare Digitalism to Daft Punk, Idealism is still ideal for fans of house music.

2 Mediocre Singles Ceran-Wrapped with Crap
Digitalism is not the child of Daft Punk, because unlike it's supposed sibling, Justice, (who actually achieved greatness with Cross), their songs are a blank canvas with a weak and wavering pulse. Besides "Zdarlight," which falls short of dance-able but moves too quickly for relaxation, and "Pogo," a crunchy rock rhythm overlaid with overly simplistic household beats (made famous by a Pontiac commercial), this album is complete and utter electronic pa-pa-poop. A somewhat clever name and two mediocre singles do not make up for the lack of originality here. The essentials of an electronic rhythm are the beat and snare, add a dash of stale trance synthesizer, and voila!---Digitalism. This is an unfinished piece rushed to market, and I would have prefered waiting another year for something actually worth listening to. I tried to sell this CD to an independant music store, but they offered me only four meager dollars---and I didn't take the money for the same reason people still buy CDs instead of mp3s to this day, because I give a damn about music. Do your audience justice, Digitalism, and re-vamp this God awful digital mess.
Don't miss this!
Personally, techno has to be really great in order for me to buy it. After seeing Digitalism's video for 'Pogo' I was hooked right away. The catchy song is impossible to get out of your head. Looking for good beats? Check out the album's first track 'magnets'. The beats pulse in your vanes, driving you to dance. I highly recommend this to any dance/techno fan.
