Product Description
Taken from the electronica act's 2004 album of the same name. Four non-LP tracks, 'Destroy Rock & Roll' (Radio Edit, Tom Neville Remix, Riton Rerub, Headman Dub) & the album version of the title track, Breastfed. 2005.
Maybe 2 years hence, while on my iMAC, I now have the pleasure of listening to actual music I can now chose, such as under Ambient, and under that, an array of stations from all over, that play the BEST chill/ambient/lounge of which I stay on top of! I heard "Need You Tonight' and saw it was by Mylo, and realized I had passed up a CD that was and is, now, one of the BEST in my collection, since after that, I had to own it!
Mylo, when is there more coming???? Your music makes me happy....cheerful, with hope.
Enter 24-year-old "Myles MacInnes" (aka "Mylo"), who has taken the template of mainstream Dance music, and reinterpreted it, to fit within a retro/electro dance arrangement, that has the distinction of being one of the most accomplished (if not the best) mainstream dance albums of 2004. Mylo makes the wise decision of not loading the album, with hard-hitting dance numbers, and instead fuses smooth electronica, with upbeat-electro & couple of big-beat/techno tracks.
"Sunworshipper", is gorgeous downtempo electronica, that is so simple in its creation, that its a surprise that it works so well. Think smooth & elegant downtempo 'Nightmares on Wax' style electronica, with a looped dialogue sample (which seems to be from either a film or documentary), overlayed, and brought in & out of the mix. it doesn't actually build or climax into anything, but it's simplicity is so beautifully devised, its laughable.
"Drop The pressure", up the ante with full-on dance floor electro, that immediately stands out, due to its catchiness, that throws a hard hitting electro beat, that fluctuates in tempo, with a crowd please dialogue sample of: "mother****ker's gonna crack under pressure". (think prime-era "Chemical Brothers" dropping, a knowingly cool electro-number).
"In My Arms" again moves away from presenting the listening with relentless simplistic & thudding beats, and weaves a hypnotic disco spell chopping up a riff, and rearranging the pieces to form something closer to disco-house/funk hybrid. Joyous, refreshingly different, and above all...funky as hell.
"Musclecars" leaps off the album with another slab of genuinely attention grabbing electronica, a sneaky little electro tune with woo-hoo-hoo-hoos and bleeps that sounds a bit like 'Royksopp', and therefore has that ability, to reach out to a wide audience, with something that seems to chime perfectly with people that don't usually like to electronica/Dance music.
But with this re-released version of "Destroy Rock & Roll", what is new, and indeed different from the previous version, is the addition of a pretty nice Re-working of "Destroy Rock & Roll", and more importantly a bootleg style mash-up of Mylo's own "Doctor Pressure" mixed with Gloria Estefan's 'Doctor Beat' with the Miami Sound Machine. Which is a gloriously cheesy but energetic house track, that fits in perfectly with the 80's dance mood of the album. And it would take a seriously uptight person to not enjoy it for what it is...a wonderfully disposable piece of groove based dance music, that would fill the floor of any downmarket nightclub.
A lot of this album is made up of ideas that in someway either reference, or give a knowing nod to music of a decade or two ago (especially 80's Pop/Rock). Whether it being tracks to owe a little debt to "Prince" ("Guilty Of Love"), or taking retro-dance ideas from "Daft Punk" ("Otto's Journey"), you'll find that although the source material from which the ideas may not be original. It's implementation represents itself in a reasonably innovate & refreshing way, and the electro/house feel running throughout the album is complementary to many moods.
Those that like their dance to be 'Underground' or consider themselves to be 'music enthusiasts', and generally avoid the sort of music, that would classify for 'Radio-play', would do well to give "Destroy Rock and Roll", a miss....and search for something a little more geared, to the 'Niche' market. As "Destroy Rock and Roll", is a mainstream dance album that uses clever stealing of 80's/90's tracks/samples, and subtle electronica to reinterpret those sounds into something more palatable for todays more demanding/discerning listeners. And manages to sit in that category of electronic/Dance albums such as: ("Royksopp's - Melody A.M."), ("Moby's - "Play"), ("Air's - Moon Safari"), ("Daft Punk's - Discovery") & ("Zero 7's - "Simple Things"), as examples of albums that have that seriously broad appeal, and yet still remain fantastically unique albums in their own right.
Mylo's debut cd is a breakaway from the slack the genre contains. Yes, this is commercial music yet it manages to defeat the hypocrite me and soothes my ego with it's ocean of dramatic sound.
"drop the pressure" is the first song i heard from this disc. In a lot of ways, the tracks underline Dj Mylo's ability to bring "non-dancers" off their feet and into a jiving mood. This is a very good cd if you lived in the 90's listening to music like Robert Miles, a bit of Prodigy and some random electronica tracks and always wondering why you never got into the genre.
Destroy Rock & Roll does surprisingly well as it is beyond being judged. "Sunworshipper" , "Drop The Pressure" , "Rikki" and "Need You Tonite" are the best tracks on the disc.
Sunworshipper is the kind of track that you play in the night and wonder to yourself about the artist named Mylo. It is a total zonked out experience mostly.
Need You Tonite has quite a lot of heart and earns respect with more listens. It reminds me of Royksopp's "Sparks" cause it contains a similar wall of sound. It just might be the best track on the disc.
tracks I didnt like one bit include "Muscle Cars" , "in my arms" , "paris four hundred" and the title track, "Destroy Rock And roll"... You see these are filler tracks and one realises this with consequenet listens. These filler tracks are also why I give this 5star album Four Stars. "Otto's Journey" is acquired listening which will make you smile. "Zenophile" is smooth. Emotion 98.6 is almost apologetic and seems to be lacking direction.
So much for my love for Mylo. I loved this cd all in all. Somehow one of the top cds of 2005. Maybe the best despite earning only FOUR STARS. Influences moods easily...
Cheers,Lovers
Valley of The Dolls- A breezy, down-tempo reinterpretation of The Sandpipers easy-listening hit "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" from the Russ Meyer film.
Sunworshipper- Sample-heavy smooth Jazz cascades over an unknown recording of a presumed former hippie.
Muscle Cars- The pace picks up a bit with this flawless Electroclazh.
Drop The Pressure- One of the album's most popular tracks. A fun, though potty-mouthed journey into Acid-House.
In My Arms- An 80's influenced electro-pop gem combining the chords from Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" and the vocals from Boy Meet's Girl's "Waiting for a Star to Fall".
Guilty of Love- The Electro-pop theme continues with this quirky though enjoyable masterpiece which combines strings from George Duke's "Guilty"(The title gets its name from a line in the aforementioned song) and a child-like piano melody.
Paris Four Hundred- Fast paced electroclash reminiscent of Kraftwerk.
Destroy Rock and Roll- Title Track in which a conservative cult leader calls out the names of many "devilish" 80's rock musicians over a house beat that uses an inverted section of Steely Dan's "Aja". The spoken-word portion is actually a sample of a recording made by The Church of Universal and Triumphant. Experimental Rock group Negativland famously used the sample on their album "Escape From Noise".
Rikki- Electroclash combining a cut-up female vocal.
Otto's Journey- Daft Punk-esque electro-disco. Used in a Kraft Zesty Italian Commercial.
Muscle Cars (Freeform Five Reprise) - A driving, up-tempo remix with female vocals.
Zenophile- The album switches back to down-tempo territory with this 60's pop-influenced nugget combining a guitar, smooth electro chord progression and a section from Dusty Springfield's "Where am I Going".
Need You Tonite- Revisiting familiar territory with this sample-heavy adaptation of UK pop songstress Judie Tzuke's "Stay With Me Till Dawn".
Emotion 98.6- Moby-influenced fare brings this album to a close.
Definably worth checking out.

Why? Apparently he says he's "just having fun." Here's hoping he keeps on having fun, for the sake of music fans. His debut "Destroy Rock & Roll" is a surprisingly fresh and fun sound, with bubbling electropop, staccato breaks and unstoppable basslines.
The first trio of songs show the sunnier side of Mylo -- it starts off with a warm wash of summer electronica that seems appropriately called "Valley of the Dolls," some languid downtempo, and some fun dance music that would sound at home in a kids' video game.
Then things take a slightly harder line, with rapid electronic jabs, computer twiddles and sampling. Songs like "In my Arms" sound like thinking men's club tune, danceable but also very complex. Then there are songs like "Guilty of Love," a smooth, sweet, still catchy number. The title track is a break from the usual, with a tongue-in-cheek recitation of all the legendary people who have contributed to the "destroying of rock'n'roll."
And as the album winds down, Mylo gives his colorful album another twist. The final three have a stately, almost classical downtempo sound, with yearning vocals layered in. Listening to these, it's impossible not to wonder where Mylo will go next in his career.
Like any other kind of music, electronica is hard to do -- for every genius, there are a bunch of idiots who think a catchy beat is all it takes to make it memorable. Which makes it impressive that Mylo has done all this at twenty-four, with mainly a computer, and put it out on his own little label.
Aside from his rich electronic noodling, Mylo also layers in some charged guitar licks and thin basslines. He also diddles around with the pace of the songs -- "Rikki" opens with your basic electronic song, but it's deliberately given little breaks, so that it sounds like a CD skipping, even as a smooth little electropop melody comes in. The skipping vocals will probably drive you insane after a few minutes, but it can't be said to be boring.
"Destroy Rock & Roll" won't destroy your taste for rock'n'roll, but it might revive some interest in the tumultuous world of electronica/dance pop. Definitely worth listening to.

Album Description
With influences ranging from Prince ('Guilty Of Love') through to Daft Punk ('Ottos Journey') and even Scissor Sisters ('Musclecar Reform Reprise'), it's little wonder that The Face described him as 'Scotland's answer to Royksopp'. By refusing to adhere to any one musical style, Mylo may well become one of the most misunderstood artists of his generation, yet despite this, expect this totally absorbing debut to make its mark on the end of year 'best of' listings. Breastfed. 2004.Album Details
The Debut Album from Isle of Skye Native Mylo, (Aka Myles Macinnes). Some of the Many Influences Heard on "Destroy Rock and Roll" Include Royksopp, Groove Armada, Daft Punk and Even Scissor Sisters and Prince.Customer Reviews:

Definably worth checking out.
An Outstanding Loveable Album that seems to revive a genre..........2006-05-25
Mylo's debut cd is a breakaway from the slack the genre contains. Yes, this is commercial music yet it manages to defeat the hypocrite me and soothes my ego with it's ocean of dramatic sound.
"drop the pressure" is the first song i heard from this disc. In a lot of ways, the tracks underline Dj Mylo's ability to bring "non-dancers" off their feet and into a jiving mood. This is a very good cd if you lived in the 90's listening to music like Robert Miles, a bit of Prodigy and some random electronica tracks and always wondering why you never got into the genre.
Destroy Rock & Roll does surprisingly well as it is beyond being judged. "Sunworshipper" , "Drop The Pressure" , "Rikki" and "Need You Tonite" are the best tracks on the disc.
Sunworshipper is the kind of track that you play in the night and wonder to yourself about the artist named Mylo. It is a total zonked out experience mostly.
Need You Tonite has quite a lot of heart and earns respect with more listens. It reminds me of Royksopp's "Sparks" cause it contains a similar wall of sound. It just might be the best track on the disc.
tracks I didnt like one bit include "Muscle Cars" , "in my arms" , "paris four hundred" and the title track, "Destroy Rock And roll"... You see these are filler tracks and one realises this with consequenet listens. These filler tracks are also why I give this 5star album Four Stars. "Otto's Journey" is acquired listening which will make you smile. "Zenophile" is smooth. Emotion 98.6 is almost apologetic and seems to be lacking direction.
So much for my love for Mylo. I loved this cd all in all. Somehow one of the top cds of 2005. Maybe the best despite earning only FOUR STARS. Influences moods easily...
Cheers,Lovers
This CD is great!.......2006-05-02
I really like every single song of this album, he did a great job, my favs are "Otto's Journey","Paris Four Hundred" and "Guilty of Love". So if you like something to chill, dance or sleep in with, pick MYLO.
Iam really lookin forward to future Albums.

Destroy it.......2005-07-08
Why? Apparently he says he's "just having fun." Here's hoping he keeps on having fun, for the sake of music fans. His debut "Destroy Rock & Roll" is a surprisingly fresh and fun sound, with bubbling electropop, staccato breaks and unstoppable basslines.
The first trio of songs show the sunnier side of Mylo -- it starts off with a warm wash of summer electronica that seems appropriately called "Valley of the Dolls," some languid downtempo, and some fun dance music that would sound at home in a kids' video game.
Then things take a slightly harder line, with rapid electronic jabs, computer twiddles and sampling. Songs like "In my Arms" sound like thinking men's club tune, danceable but also very complex. Then there are songs like "Guilty of Love," a smooth, sweet, still catchy number. The title track is a break from the usual, with a tongue-in-cheek recitation of all the legendary people who have contributed to the "destroying of rock'n'roll."
And as the album winds down, Mylo gives his colorful album another twist. The final three have a stately, almost classical downtempo sound, with yearning vocals layered in. Listening to these, it's impossible not to wonder where Mylo will go next in his career.
Like any other kind of music, electronica is hard to do -- for every genius, there are a bunch of idiots who think a catchy beat is all it takes to make it memorable. Which makes it impressive that Mylo has done all this at twenty-four, with mainly a computer, and put it out on his own little label.
Aside from his rich electronic noodling, Mylo also layers in some charged guitar licks and thin basslines. He also diddles around with the pace of the songs -- "Rikki" opens with your basic electronic song, but it's deliberately given little breaks, so that it sounds like a CD skipping, even as a smooth little electropop melody comes in. The skipping vocals will probably drive you insane after a few minutes, but it can't be said to be boring.
"Destroy Rock & Roll" won't destroy your taste for rock'n'roll, but it might revive some interest in the tumultuous world of electronica/dance pop. Definitely worth listening to.

Album Description
2005 UK re-issue of their 2004 album now features three additional bonus tracks, 'Soft Rock', 'Doctor Pressure' (Dirty Radio Edit) and 'Destroy Rock & Roll' (Tom Nevilles Clean Edit). Mylo is the brainchild of Skye native Myles MacInnes. Mylo has produced a refreshing and at times startling debut in the form of 'Destroy Rock And Roll'. Sophisticated electro stabs, classy breaks and fat-bottomed bass lines characterise his rich, varied and well-balanced sound. Influenced by artists such as Prince ('Guilty of Love'), Daft Punk ('Ottos Journey') and even Scissor Sisters ('Musclecar Reform Reprise'), this album includes the high-octane guitar title-track single 'Destroy Rock And Roll'. Sony.Album Details
Repackaged Version of Mylo's Debut Album. Featuring Three New Tracks - a Remix of 'destroy Rock and Roll', One Brand New Track and the Newest Radio Hit Mylo Vs Miami Sound Machine's 'doctor Pressure'.Customer Reviews:

Album Description
With influences ranging from Prince ('Guilty Of Love') through to Daft Punk ('Ottos Journey') and even Scissor Sisters ('Musclecar Reform Reprise'), it's little wonder that The Face described him as 'Scotland's answer to Royksopp'. By refusing to adhere to any one musical style, Mylo may well become one of the most misunderstood artists of his generation, yet despite this, expect this totally absorbing debut to make its mark on the end of year 'best of' listings.
