Editorial Review:
First released on Munich's fashionable International Deejay Gigolos label back in 2001, Fischerspooner's debut album #1 was an immediate underground sensation. The creation of two New York fashion queens, Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner, it swiftly became the defining example of what clued-up onlookers began to know as electroclash--a brand of synthetic punk music using not guitars and drums, but the traditional tools of the 80s musician: synthesiser, vocoder, sampled handclaps, sequenced bass. Feted in the style press, Fischerspooner became immediate cult superstars--and at the beginning of 2002, signed to Ministry Of Sound for a hefty sum. "Emerge" is the record's defining moment: a seismic explosion of bass-powered synth-flurries accompanied by a nagging bon vivant mantra--"Looks good / Feels good / Sounds good"--it's up there with Donna Summer 's "I Feel Love" and New Order 's "Blue Monday" in the canon of all-time dancefloor classics. And luckily, the rest of the record is almost as good. "F***er" sounds like a fuel-injected Kraftwerk, all high-speed technoid blips and orgasmic vocoder moans, while "Turn On" finds Fischerspooner crafting their answer to a straightforward pop song--albeit, one that vogues more than Madonna, and preens more than Prince. It's a fantastic, accomplished debut. --Louis Pattison
Originally released in 2002, this reissue of the brash, flashy, sexy, pulsing and slightly warped debut album 'No. 1', includes 2 hidden tracks 'Mega C' & 'Emerge' (Junkie XL remix). Captiol. 2005.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Highly overrated...
After enjoying the Odyssey album, I was looking forward to hearing #1, especially with all the glowing reviews here. Unfortunately, it was really not all that good, with more scattered sounds than the more "together" songs from the other album. And what the hell was the awful song "Megacolon" doing on this album? I'd say to pass on this one and stick with Odyssey.
Rating:  - this cd grows on you
just perfect
mix of 80's synth and new wave to modern electro
Rating: - Electroclassic Fisher Spooner's #1 is a Great experience
If you havenet heard Fisher Spooner's #1 and are looking for something thats progressive yet timeless and totally enjoyable electronic music then this is an album you have to check out. While the hype over electroclash has past for the most part there are a few albums from that genre that really stand out as brilliant and this is one of them. With a mix of true musicality, great vocal performance and a feeling of real live performance this album captures the true adventure and artiness of the best ... Read More
Rating: - Album is superb, but doesn't deserve a sticker
I have bought three of Fischerspooner's cd just because I like what I hear so far on the samples and seen the video for Never Win on Logo and heard the song Emerge on Comcast's Music Choice channel Electronica.
I just want to say that this cd did not deserve a Explicit Lyrics sticker. There is no bad words through out the entire album except the S word (you know the opposite of crap or poop, I can't write it or it will be edited out by the system) twice on track 12, Mega C.

Rating: - A decent neo-electro album - only for fans of the genre or band - 3.5 stars
Fischerspooner is a decent neo-electro band, but nothing to really go wild about. Their second album, "#1", is a "decent" album that should satisfy fans of the genre and band, but no one else. There are no bad songs here, but none of them are great, either - it's at least consistently satisfying. The entire album is basically pretty simple electronic beats which, I'd have to say, get old after a while. The songs just aren't complex enough to be interesting all by themselves. The singers are at least ... Read More
