Electric Penguins 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins' (Psychonavigation) **** Using Old Moog synthesizers and a myriad of vintage electronic equipment, this Dublin - based trio has delivered a remarkable debut. "Transatlantic (Part 1)" isn't a million miles away from Gary Numan territory, while the vocoder-heavy "Answer The Phone" melds two facets of Eno's career together - the playful sprite of "Here Come The Warm Jets" and the more introspective soul of "Before And After Science". The highlight is the gorgeous "Too Far" with its Air-like opening and a finale that owes much to Kraftwerk. ...a highly rewarding work and one of the finest domestic releases in months. Burn it: "Answer The Phone", "Too Far" - THE IRISH INDEPENDENT ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ELECTRIC PENGUINS: 'GOODBYE FROM THE ELECTRIC PENGUINS'. Electric Penguins are an Irish, mostly electronica based three-piece featuring Mark Cummins, Paul Murphy and Sean Quinn. Released on the very fine Psychonavigation label, the album is a truly excellent collection of mellow electronic pop sounds with lots of live guitars, pianos and lush Farfisa organs. There are elements of the Postal Service, Schneider TM, early 4AD and plenty more. The vocals are all heavily processed with vocoders and there are lots of background glitchy digital effects. People who like the sounds from Morr Music, City Centre Offices etc. will simply love this record. This is quite simply one of those truly excellent records that deserves a place in every home. Hats off to all involved, I just can't recommend this highly enough. - ROAD RECORDS ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ELECTRIC PENGUINS - 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins'. The Electric Penguins masterplan was to make a modern record using only 1970s instruments such as moogs, mellotrons, organs and guitars - with no samplers or 21st-century sequencers. If youre interested in electronic music, youll adore their melodic and majestic opus, influenced by pioneers such as Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Sigur Ros and Flaming Lips. Highlights include the sweetly melancholic Lonnie and the heavenly Transatlantic, which has echoes of The Postal Service. - THE STAR **** ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "The best thing I've heard all week". Alison Curtis - TODAY FM ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Electric Penguins: 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins'. Pschonavigation Records. While this Irish electronic three piece's debut album is a welcome surprise it's at first tempting to think this is just technological hi-jinx. However, the album was recorded mostly live using 1970s equipment such as mellotrons and wears its influences (from Floyd, to Kraftwerk, Mercury Rev, Ulrich Schnauss and even Air's quieter moments) well. From the opening Sigur Ros motifs, there is a complexity to the songwriting through the use of processed vocals, swoosh soundscapes and menacing Moog runs that make this essential for fans of ambient/downbeat pop. Download: "Supergirl", "Lonnie", "Transatlantic". - SUNDAY TRIBUNE **** ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ELECTRIC PENGUINS: 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins'. Whilst delivering an album of melodic atmospheres and a triumph of sound , Electric Penguins have also delivered one of the albums of the year. 7/10 HOT PRESS
