BT: The Technology : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone

Album Reviews

Electronic music superstar Brian "BT" Transeau's remixes for Madonna and Sarah McLachlan and scores for films like Monster have proven his mainstream multimedia capability, but his most indelible mark has come from his solo output. The Technology EP collects remixes of three tracks from the Emotional Technology album, and though it fails to reach the genre-smashing heights of its parent, its brevity, not quality, is the culprit. JC Chasez's vocals on the epic "Force of Gravity" are filtered into dizzying trance and ass-shaking breakbeat versions by Tiesto and Dylan Rhymes, with the Rose McGowan-fronted "Superfabulous" and the meditative Attention Deficit remix of "The Great Escape" also primed for dance floors. The disc's greatest appeal will be to bedroom DJs; it also includes the individual audio parts to all three songs, so the buyer can generate his or her own emotional technology by creating unique remixes of each song.
