Search - Frankie Bones :: Computer Controlled

Not what I expected, but still classic Bones

"Frankie Bones can always be depended on to take tech-house back to its bedroom-production roots, yet slip in a surprise or two as well. This time the surprises are more jarring than usual. As other reviewes have mentioned, this is not a DJ mix but a compilation of original material. If this had been marketed as a straight-out artist album it would be a five-star effort, but anything bearing the Computer Controlled title will, for me at least, be measured against volume 1 of the series, which is one of the greatest house music CD's of all time. Missing also is the dub-plate gronk of that CD, which is part of its raw appeal. This CD sounds almost too clean. But this is still Frankie Bones, and anything he makes deserves a top-ten albums-of-the-year berth. Just be warned, and stick with Army Of One if you want a DJ mix of Bones' recent originals."
