Space music or ambient techno or dance? Who cares?!

"Hydra is the brain child of Jens Buchert and this second album follows up the excellent Rendezvous in Space. The previous work was pure space music with a sense of sweeping wonder and awe woven into it everywhere. This offering is more focused on groove and beat. You might almost call it Techno Industrial or Dance at some points but there is still plenty of the science fiction sample here. I would pay good money to learn what film the sampled voices in 'Starship Taxi' are from for instance. At times Hydra reminds of Front Line Assembly and at others is more like Equinox. No matter what you call it, it entertains."
