Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2006

I first heard about Junkie XL through a radio appearance where he was interviewed and some of the tracks off this album were played. The two which really struck me were Crusher (sung by Saffron) and Angels (the Gary Numan track). Based on that, I bought the album and I'm quite pleased with it. Of the two CDs, I prefer the 3pm CD. The three Saffron tracks (Crusher, Sprits, Beauty Never Fades) remain my favorites, but the the rest of the CD is strong as well. The 3am CD is not bad, but the higher energy of the 3pm CD is what I keep coming back to.

Shortly after buying this CD I also bought Junkie XL's companion album entitled 7am, which is available for download off his website. That one is 19 tracks divided into two discs: 7am - ambient, and 7am - dance. It's just under two hours of additional music, and has some interesting reworkings of the Computer Hell Cabin material. If you really like this album, I recommend 7am as well.

New Junkie XL Fan

I had only heard the Legacy track off of Paul Oakenfold's Great Wall Album. I then saw this CD at my local music store and decided to give it a try. I was blown away by Tennis. This track is so good and it puts you in a relax mood. The more I think about it, he should have put it on the AM CD. The AM CD was my favorite. Chilled, Casio, Angel, and Dub Zilla are all excellent tracks to bring the night to an end. I also can't stop listening to Perfect Blue Sky which features Robert Smith. Robert Smith just adds to the effect of the great song. He has always had such a good voice and it shines even more on this track. All together Junkie XL did a good job of making this album. I love the name of the album as well. Can't see what he comes out with next.

Great cd!

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2004

I am not terribly familiar with Junkie XL except for the song "Billyclub" (I think that is the name of it) from a few years ago. I wasn't too terribly impressed by what I heard. When late last year I heard that former Republica singer Saffron was going to sing on some of the songs on the Junkie XL album, my curiousity was piqued. I absolutely loved Republica when they first came out (hated their second album "Speed Ballads"). I decided to buy the new Junkie XL cd today. I was also psyched to see that The Cure's Robert Smith and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan each contributes to a song on the album ("Reload" and "PerfectBlueSky"). I personally love "Radio JXL". The album was chockful of danceable techno beats and melodic vocals. The songs that Saffron contributes her vocals to eerily reminds me of Republica's music. It was great hearing her again for the first time in a few years. I particularly loved the songs that Saffron sang on "Crusher", "Spirits", and "BeautyNeverFades". I absolutely loved the song that Robert Smith sings on "PerfectBlueSky". I thought it was very interesting to listen to his unique vocals set to a different sound. Another favorite track of mine is "Angels" which legendary synth-pop godfather Gary Neuman contributes his vocals to the song. The song is very catchy and upbeat. I enjoyed all of the songs except for the Elvis Presley remix "A Little Less Conversation". Never liked the original version, didn't like the remix version even more so. Plus it sounded out of place on the cd for me. The second cd was awesome as well. I was somewhat worried that it would be a pretty useless cd but the music turned out to be just as good. I really enjoyed "Radio JXL". It is a good mixture of techno and rock music.

Great album, grown up from Big Sounds of the Drag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2013

Admittedly I only have that one other Junkie XL album to compare with, but this is a much more "mature" sound. Where BSotD is about energy and stomping choons, this is more about creating a well-considered feel on each track- to great effect. Still dance / Big Beat but with a bit more intention behind it. Some tracks are simply outstanding and if he could do a whole album with Saffron (Republica) I'd buy it in a flash! Others are simply, well, great. I got the special edition with the 2nd CD; CD1 certainly gives you enough to listen to, CD2 just gives you a greater variety... but on the basis I love what he's done here, I'd go for the special edition every time!

Amazonの曲目リスト「http://www.amazon.co.jp/Radio-Broadcast-Computer-Hell-Cabin/dp/tracks/B00019PDEI/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1」とAmazonで購入したCDケースの曲目リストと実際にCDに収録されている曲目、全部違うってどーゆーことだ？？？
リミックスが多いから版権の期限切れで曲目から外すとか、「出品者から購入」で購入したので実は中古で、中身と外身が違うとか？
なんかすげーがっかり。

J'aurais essayé, mais ce ne passe décidément pas

Après les albums d'ANTHOLOGIE que sont "Saturday Teenage Kick" et "Big Sounds Of The Drags", j'ai vraiment pas accroché à ce troisième opus de Junkie XL. Il y a bien quelques morceaux pas trop mal comme "Crusher", le plus big beat d'entre tous, le plus calme "Between These Walls" et le funky "Catch Up To My Step".
Mais rien à la hauteur de bombes comme "No Remorse", "Future In Computer Hell (Part 2)", "Billy Club" ou "Love Like Razorblade". Et c'est pareil sur les albums suivants, bien que je respecte ces volontés bien entendu.
Il y a bien eu une version à 2CD où le deuxième propose déjà une atmosphère plus proche des deux précédents albums (écoutez "Nudge", vous le regretterez pas) néanmoins l'approche trop commerciale de ce premier CD m'a définitivement rebuté à l'idée de garder cet album.
Si vous aimez les musiques type soirée de mariage, cet album sera parfait. Sinon, je ne pense pas que beaucoup de puristes de big beat, breakbeat ou techno (un peu comme moi, je l'avoue) sauront apprécier "Radio JXL".
