Moonlight Matters' new EP Come For Me sounds like 30 years of music mashed into one 6-song EP (half of which are a remixes of 'Come For Me'). From the frantic techno pace of the title track 'Come For Me' to the hypnotic and occasionally startling 'Rain Dance,' this EP is a walk down memory lane with a bit of new spice thrown in.

Easily the best track of the EP, 'Come For Me,' sounds like a robot battle in the middle of a disco. You can almost see the lasers flying in time with the aggressively rhythmic synthesizers. The second song, 'Standing Up For Love,' is not nearly as good. Probably the weakest track of the EP, 'Standing Up For Love' is what would happen if you gave N'Sync an industrial techno phase, then sent them back in time to 1986. Complete with synth saxophone and high pitched flutey moments, all Standing Up For Love' needs is an accompanying smoke machine.



Before the three remixes kick in, the album rounds off with the falsely soothing 'Rain Dance.' After the frenetic energy of the first two songs, 'Rain Dance' has a steady rhythm that requires very little of the casual listener - until lone vocals suddenly wail up from nowhere. The falsetto voice dips in and out of this trance-like track until it ends nearly six minutes later. The remixes of 'Come For Me' at the end of the EP are all similar and similarly good - but none tops the original track.

While it may not be for everyone, if you like 80s-style techno-pop, industrial 90s-grunge backbeats and trance music from the early 2000s, you'll be into Come For Me.
