4.5 superb | Alabaster Jones | November 10th 15 | I suppose if "electronica" is a term applicable to a wide range of electronic genres, then this record pretty much has the perfect title. I say that because this release is a surprisingly eclectic collection of songs of all sorts of electronic genres, including synthpop, downtempo, vaporwave, chillwave, and ambient pop. In terms of relativity, it's eclecticism is somewhat similar to Pastel Ghost, just more subdued, with male vocals, and not swamped in reverb. The whole album, while certainly produced wonderfully, also has catchy hooks scattered throughout, with Clanton's voice being quite adept for the job. The album has a watery, fluid texture due to all of this, and it's quite relaxing, yet also very fun. It's a remarkably enjoyable listen, and though it can get slightly samey near the end, it's also a consistent effort. Needless to say, more albums from this man are a tantalizing thought.

4.2 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | April 13th 21 | Heyo this kid from Richmond, VA is a good DJ - wait where have I heard this sentence before? His delivery is very 80s, transforming nods to the past into straight-up tunes that would make your parents shake their asses. Best example is "Did I Flounder", coming straight from the Tears for Fears cookbook with its Orzabal-like vocals and the lush yet always dramatic vaporwave/80s-reminiscent synthpop. For once, a vaporwave record does not indulge in picking cool 80s vocals to slow 'em down - here, Clanton adapts delivery and pitch to accompany his vapor/chill/new wave with his own take on the cocaine-decade voice - halfway between The Cure's Robert Smith and that one aforementioned dude from TFF. Truly one of the best 2010s albums that do not sound like a 2010s album.

0.0 | Jeffery J. Bigglestein | June 25th 20 | 100% Electronica has some amazing highs with "It Makes the Babies Want to Cry", and "Keep A Secret", but this album is a bit of a roller coaster and somewhat amateur in terms of pacing. The slow, ambient tracks do not mesh well with the higher energy dance tracks, despite having similar sound.

4.0 excellent | gloom02 | March 1st 16 | It has nostalgic vibes and is really nice to put on and think of the old stereotypical Ferris Bueler days. I enjoy this album!

5.0 classic | Simsalabim462 | December 8th 15 | Wasn't sure after the first few spins, but that fourth one really convinced me. I also think it's a pretty good album cover. It just works for some reason, ya know?
