"This is what you might have got if Gigi D'Agostino, DJ Tiesto and Mr. Iozo had a child.



It's quite different from his previous work, "I Created Disco"... I think this may be a more well rounded album than its predecessor. As mentioned, it has a different feel... more of a night-driving or discotheque feel. This can be regarded as a positive thing, I feel as though its the type of record you can put on and listen to continuously (with some exception) without the desire to skip to a different track. & dare I say more conceptual?



It's more melodic and well produced with that Euro-echo stamp laced on most of the tracks. ICD was more experimental and raw. It had more filler and arbitrary tracks... probably put in to reach requirements for a full length record. Or maybe Calvin had put too much effort into the hit singles and less emphasis on the record as a whole. Think of Daft Punk's "Homework" to "Discovery" as an analogy.



All in all, its a nice record to listen to. Calvin's skills as a producer and melody maker have clearly matured and he seems to have found a direction in which to go. It gets a little repetitive at times, it starts to sound the same... but the elements for a fun record are there. I like both his records, but RFTW tends to be a better record to play front to end."
