Electronic music has changed a lot in the last decades and by now is splintered into numerous genres and sub-genres. In *The Air Conditioned Nightmare* Airick Woodhead, the man behind Doldrums, takes it back to a point before the various dance music styles began their raise to mainstream. In particular the first two songs, *HOTFOOT* and *Blow Away* remind me of some records by Kissing the Pink, Frank Tovey or The Weathermen, which I was very much into in the late 80s. Back then electronic music evolved from the melodic Kraftwerk-inspired synth lines to something rougher and more organic.

I like almost every song on the record: *A Funeral for Lightning* and *We Awake* are some of my favorites. Then there is *Loop* with a synth line that makes me remember of the 70s instrumental [Popcorn](http://youtu.be/NjxNnqTcHhg?ref=glamglare.com) – I love the album for this alone.

*The Air Conditioned Nightmare* is marked for favorite albums of the year.
