When Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland started distributing homemade singles around Los Angeles at the beginning of the '90s, their bass-fortified, hard-rolling techno concoctions perked up the ears of industry impresarios and local scenesters alike. Vegas, their affectionately-titled major label debut, refines the formula. Thick with layers of pounding beats and rock dynamics, it takes the typical club fare and beefs it up with a uniquely western slant. The detectable influences range from the power chords of AC/DC to old school hip-hop patterns to the smooth melodies of Stevie Wonder. On blistering tracks like "Trip Like I Do" and "Keep Hope Alive," the Crystal Method confirm that America has become a force of contention in the electronica field. --Aidin Vaziri

 Crystal Method, As good as I remember it October 10, 2008
Leah R. Moore (Marysville, WA.)
I used to own this CD but missplaced it 3 times. It was stolen once, bought a new one, a friend borrowed it and moved, then I left the 3rd one on the dash on a HOT day and it warped.
This was one of CM's best CD's. I listen to it most when driving, it makes the time fly by. I'm getting older but it's kind of a flashback to my club'ing days.

 Must Have October 2, 2008

This is by far one of the best electronic music cd ever!!! Every track is well done and they put you on a ride from start to finish. I wish they would do another album with this same intensity! I have bought this cd 7 times cause either I let someone listen to it and the next thing you know its gone or I played it so much it wore out!! Everyone I let listen to it even if they not a electronic fan they still love it and that makes it even appealing because it has such a diversified sound. This is a must have if your any kind of music lover!!!!!
WOW, thats all I can say June 10, 2008

Im just starting to get into electronic music, but i don't know that many bands or albums that really grab me. This, however, is just absolutely earth shatteringly good. Oh man. I recently got a synth and have realized just how hard it is to make this type of stuff. The programing and sound design on this album is perfect. Every synth tone just shakes you to the core. Best songs are High Roller, Vapor Trail, and Trip like I Do.

Enough has been said by others. It's merely worth mentioning that I have had this album for years and every time I pull it out again, it's fresh and awesome, engaging and energetic. Great stuff.

I listen to a lot of music while I write, and Vegas just gets the words flowing.
