Machine Girl’s second album is its most purely electronic—Gemini plays like a high-speedy summary of the last decade of electronic music, an unstoppable rush of club breaks and stuttering vocal samples. “Out by 16 (ACiDPUNKMiX)” combines dubby breakbeats, acid squelches, and peculiar glitches, while tracks like “Crystalline Chute (Falling 1)” and “WEIGHTLESS>>NOVA>>BLOSSOM>>____” conjure up a feeling of pure, candy-coated ecstasy like only rave music can. Stephenson draws on a familiar palette of classic dance sounds, but the result doesn’t sound anything like the past: it’s what a voice on the album describes as a little bit of “cyberpunk flavor.”
