Apollo 440

What do you guys think about them? IMO they have interesting, individual rockin sound.Im currently listening their Millenium Fever album(from 1994).I try to avoid being genrewhore, but I really cannot categorize them in any specific genre.
Opinions?

Yeah, I love their first few albums but the new one (Dude Descending a Staircase) is total trash. I think one could categorize them somewhere between d'n'b, dub and big beat.

I find their Electro Glide In Blue album the most enjoyable.

Electro Glide In Blue also has mint stuff! Like Ain't Talkin'Bout Dub, Carrera Rapida and Krupa (in begin it samples a a part from Taxi Driver movie, I think.) Also their Stealth songs are beautiful.

agreed, whenever I hear that track it reminds me of 1999.

Gigolo Stop the Jocks remix i think is what it is called

I have both Electro Glide in Blue and Get High on Your Own Supply. both really good albums in my opinion

I might as well get Get High On Your Own Supply album then.

Millennium Fever is a quality album, highly under-rated, even the cheesy cover version of Don't Fear The Reaper. Liquid Cool is the best tune on there and probably still my fave tune they've ever done.

As for their genre, they kind of defy any kind of classification other than "various", but that's one of the things I like about them.

I really like their cover of "don't fear the reaper".
The whole millennium fever album is good.

Reminds me of Northern Exposure 1. Such a good album...

Anyway, is Apollo 440 stuff from ten years ago hard to get?

To be honest, I bought the album at the time (CD, not vinyl) but I've checked musicstack.com and there seems to be plenty of their old stuff still listed on there.

Liquid Cool seems pretty expensive though. There's an 8-track promo of it going at over $61 US.
