What The Critics Say
No need to worry about Apollo 440 turning intelligent in the wake of electronica's growing experimental leanings. Their third album overall, Getting High on Your Own Supply is a ride through sampladelic breakbeat that's just as mad as 1997's Electro Glide in Blue. Seemingly oblivious that even their youngest listeners could spot their samples, Apollo 440 pillage Led Zeppelin and Status Quo (among others), blending styles from trance, ska, hip-hop, dub, and disco with a tossed-off feel that's quite charming. From the breakout single "Stop the Rock" to the unabashed, old-school silliness of "Cold Rock the Mic" and a remix of last year's "Lost in Space" theme which fuses black metal with jungle breakbeats, Getting High on Your Own Supply is another dumb but infectious party album to file alongside Fatboy Slim's You've Come a Long Way, Baby. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
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. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Besides the forging techno-pop of tracks like "Astral America" and "(Don't Fear) the Reaper," Apollo 440's debut album has several more epic-length tracks, like "Liquid Cool" and "Rumble/Spirit of America." ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
