This release comes on rising French label Citizen, which was started by artist Vitalic and has recently introduced us to Teenage Bad Girl. John Lord Fonda is one of the label's main producers, with this release being a continuation of his first Voltage EP from 2004. The side-spanning a-side track "Universal Machine(1)" can only be described as epic. It's displays menagerie of dance styles: french electro, techno, and hard house. Play this when the vampires enter the house. "Tell Me Now(2)" is more in the vein of the current French electro scene, with gritty synth progressions and a driving house beat; but hold on, check those new wave vocals midway... too cool. I think music producers should stay away from the themed stuff, especially, when it has to do with the interweb, so I won't bother you with the so bad it's funny "Addicted To Web(3)."
