Album Review

Erik Kowalski's second album as Casino Versus Japan is an ambient-techno postcard from the nation's sunniest state, though the only obvious references to Hawaii come with the faraway slack-key guitar on the opener "Theme" and the delightful vocal samples of a preschooler on "It's Very Sunny." Elsewhere, Go Hawaii is a superb album of chill-out techno-pop — heavy on the spacious synth, minor-key melodies, and crunchy percussion programs. Check "Local Forecast," "Late for School," and "Over Island" for some of the dreamiest techno to come out of the American underground, or "Dielectric Saints" for an atmospheric soundclash between dub and noise-pop.

Customer Reviews

Amazing

This is a great album beginning to end. Even if you are not a fan of ambient music, this album is still incredible. This is the first album I heard from Casino Versus Japan, and it is still the best. Amazing album, you won't be disappointed. Check out tracks 3,4,5 and 8, my personal favorites.

It very sunny

It's very sunny is likely my favorite song ever and perfectly sets the tone for this entire album. So much great work here that is unique and timeless!
