The Crystal Method Artist Snapshot:

Los Angeles-based dance music maestros Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland are often linked with their British counterparts, the Chemical Brothers, as they share a certain 1990s "big beat" aesthetic, with intense breakbeats, deeply moving basslines, and dramatic dynamics. In addition to making some of the most popular club music for the late '90s and early '00s, the pair have created scores for film and television. Crystal Method was nominated for a Grammy in 2005 for their album LEGION OF BOOM.

Review

Rolling Stone (9/4/97, p.68) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...the Crystal Method aren't averse to occasionally fusing good old-fashioned guitar licks to their dense mix of funky breaks, distorted beats and escalating keyboard swells..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/26/97, pp.78-79) - "..Their mixture of crescendoing break beats and inspiring Jesse Jackson samples places them in the vanguard of techno-rock..." - Rating: A-
Vibe (9/97, p.247) - "...Entering this U.K.-dominated genre are the Crystal Method, a southern California-based duo whose pulsating debut is alive with frenetic beats, sensual melodies, and the style's trademark squiggly sound effects..."
Melody Maker (10/25/97, p.53) - "...Technology may well be their forte and their medium, but The Crystal Method just want to rock your socks off....at the moment they don't quite make it but there's a lot of potential in there which, with a bit more bite, could be just the ticket."

Title Note

The Crystal Method: Ken Jordan, Scott Kirkland.

Additional personnel: Trixy Reiss (vocals).

Recorded at The Bomb Shelter, Glendale, California.

The Crystal Method: Ken Jordan, Scott Kirkland.

Additional personnel: Trixie Reiss.

By capturing critical attention through some impressive compilation cuts before unveiling their full-length debut VEGAS, Crystal Method allowed themselves time to explore and develop a plethora of soundscapes, with elements ranging from spacey synthesizers and NASA samples to dense layered breakbeats. The opener "Trip Like I Do" firmly establishes the album's direction: oscillating synthesizers, hard edged drum-and-bass furor coupled with samples reminiscent of My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult. Those who still believe that American electronica cannot compare to the British electronic movement need only take a careful listen to the unrelenting-yet-tasteful sonic juxtapositions which VEGAS unleashes.
