Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - WOW, thats all I can say
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.
Rating: - Doesn't get old
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.
Rating:  - Excellent Writing Music
I listen to a lot of music while I write, and Vegas just gets the words flowing.
Rating: - C'mon trance snobs - give it a break. It's a MUST HAVE!
Like so many others, Vegas was my "gateway" CD into electronica. Granted I've only gotten into it for about 12 years (dabbling in the Shamen and Front 242 originally), but this CD got me listening to electronica as my ONLY genre for many of those years; namely trance, trip hop, break beats, techno, ambient and the like (I'm old - I still like to call it ALL techno, but I keep getting yelled at by the kids). And I've still had to buy this album a couple of times to replace previous ones as it's one ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Cd to drive with
I recently bought this CD from listining to one song on the CD in a bar.
I got the CD had a 2 hour drive that day. I was imperssed at all the songs on the CD. Usually when you hear one song and buy the CD thats the only song you realy like. However in this case I enjoyed most of the CD.
I recommend buying this CD.
