As a collection of AiS tracks, Electronic Projects for Musicians isn't as cohesive as the group's last two full band projects (the garagey Velocity of Sound and more opulent New Magnetic Wonder). A couple of the slower numbers ("The Oasis," for instance) just sit there. But as a cobbled-together set of onetime orphans, it definitely does the trick. Any fans out there who've been holding back on buying this ultimately engaging collection are hereby advised to get themselves a copy - unless you're the type of anal retentive moneybags who already owns both the domestic and Japanese versions of the band's catalog. In which case, you've probably gotta decide just how much you need that silly little Stephen Colbert ditty.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
