 More Space Can Be Good Apr 14, 2006
I picked up this album after having only heard the Peace release, and there is quite a bit of difference in styles. I think the vocals have become more polished as the band matures. The bouncy pop sound has been transmuted into a more trancy - space feel, and yet it still works well. My favorite tracks on this album are "Automatons & Emitter" (Two tracks that are blended into one), the instrumental "V C F" which is exceptionally simple and deep at the same time, and "Conscious" which seems like a tribute to the Beetles.
Many of the tracks are short, at around 2 minutes in length. In a way it reminds me of a buffet meal where you take small portions of lots of great food. In this case its small songs that each have a different flavor. I don't think it's necessary to draw out a song to get the feel, and I respect an artist able to put so much variety on one disc. This is one of the few albums where every track makes it onto my portable music player.

This is my personal fav from them. I like the more rock influence in the songs. I realy dig this album. Some of there stuff is too fluffy.

FINALLY! Dec 04, 2004
I must say, I bought the first A-Box album only for Living in Oblivion, and I never really felt much for any of the other songs but Lady in Waiting and All These Hours Undone. And I never really liked Hope or Worth... But then came Elektrodelica. Sure, I didn't know it existed for the longest time (the US Army PX being the only media outlet in the area), but once I heard the songs, I was blown away. Gone are the sappy, sophomoric lyrics. You actually have to think about what the songs mean. And the music is amazing. Not the clean synth sound that they used to have; DM's Violator album sounded the death knell for that style. This is new, and at the same time, older than the 80's, hearkening back to the 60's and 70's. I love it.

 Interesting Experiment Nov 06, 2002
If you are a big fan of Anything Box's first three albums, and want the same hook laden pop songs, then you may want to think twice about this album. I admire Claude S, for taking a chance and trying something new. This album is covered in new ideas that last for a minute or two and then that's it. And that's the problem. Anything Box never seem to fully complete or fill out any of the songs on this album. It's as if they quickly get bored with a track and move on to something else. It sometimes sounds as if this is a compilation album put together by a few various bands. "Conscious" was released as a single, but didn't do well. "Negaverse" is one of the few tracks that stand out to me. "Autumn" as well.

Anything Box with their worst album to date............ Apr 04, 2002
Since Diana left the band, Claude S. seems to be strugling to make great music like the old days. Claude S. experimented with new sounds that sounds terible. The addition of guitars and spacy pop noises just didn't do it for me (a long time fan). The music is not good at all like the old synth-pop sounds we all came to love from Anything Box. I also dont care much for the lyrics in this album (very cheezy). Their later release "universe is expanding" is much better than "Electrodelica" as they improved the new sound that the group was aiming for with this album but it is still nothing like the old days. This is the bands worst album to date and although I am a big fan, I do not recomend this album unless you are a die hard fan and just want to have all their stuff to keep in your collection and not ever listen to it like myself.
