A more satisfying album than their previous Sony effort, Electro Glide in Blue sees Apollo 440 moving closer to straight-ahead techno and away from commercial pop, a good move considering the electronic atmosphere of the times. Whether it's the Sony Playstation video-game track &Rapid Racer& or an incredibly well-done duet with former Associates vocalist Billy Mackenzie on &Pain in Any Language,& Apollo 440 proves they're no strangers to the dancefloor.
