"Since I am not big of a writer, and i had the feeling to support Mylo in any way, heres a short review.

I really like every single song of this album, he did a great job, my favs are "Otto's Journey","Paris Four Hundred" and "Guilty of Love". So if you like something to chill, dance or sleep in with, pick MYLO.

Iam really lookin forward to future Albums."

Pure Electro bliss

"Mylo has put out one of the best electronic albums to arrive on the scene in years. Destroy Rock & Roll combines nearly every electronic sub-genre imaginable and does so flawlessly. Here's a track-by track-review:



Valley of The Dolls- A breezy, down-tempo reinterpretation of The Sandpipers easy-listening hit "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" from the Russ Meyer film.



Sunworshipper- Sample-heavy smooth Jazz cascades over an unknown recording of a presumed former hippie.



Muscle Cars- The pace picks up a bit with this flawless Electroclazh.



Drop The Pressure- One of the album's most popular tracks. A fun, though potty-mouthed journey into Acid-House.



In My Arms- An 80's influenced electro-pop gem combining the chords from Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" and the vocals from Boy Meet's Girl's "Waiting for a Star to Fall".



Guilty of Love- The Electro-pop theme continues with this quirky though enjoyable masterpiece which combines strings from George Duke's "Guilty"(The title gets its name from a line in the aforementioned song) and a child-like piano melody.



Paris Four Hundred- Fast paced electroclash reminiscent of Kraftwerk.



Destroy Rock and Roll- Title Track in which a conservative cult leader calls out the names of many "devilish" 80's rock musicians over a house beat that uses an inverted section of Steely Dan's "Aja". The spoken-word portion is actually a sample of a recording made by The Church of Universal and Triumphant. Experimental Rock group Negativland famously used the sample on their album "Escape From Noise".



Rikki- Electroclash combining a cut-up female vocal.



Otto's Journey- Daft Punk-esque electro-disco. Used in a Kraft Zesty Italian Commercial.



Muscle Cars (Freeform Five Reprise) - A driving, up-tempo remix with female vocals.



Zenophile- The album switches back to down-tempo territory with this 60's pop-influenced nugget combining a guitar, smooth electro chord progression and a section from Dusty Springfield's "Where am I Going".



Need You Tonite- Revisiting familiar territory with this sample-heavy adaptation of UK pop songstress Judie Tzuke's "Stay With Me Till Dawn".



Emotion 98.6- Moby-influenced fare brings this album to a close.



Definably worth checking out."
