Arrivo alla scoperta di questo gruppo, anzi per meglio dire di questo duo, grazie alle varie discoteche e ai vari club che sempre più spesso riempiono le mie serate e i miei pomeriggi. In un ambiente come quello infatti se si ha un minimo di occhio musicale non si possono non scoprire i Fischerspooner.
Alcuni di voi li conosceranno già probabilmente ma per chi si sta chiedendo chi cazzo sono questi ecco a voi la risposta alle vostre domande: i Fischerspooner sono formati da Warren Fischer e Casey Spooner (dalla fusione dei due cognomi nasce il nome del gruppo) e sono accompagnati nelle loro performance da un fitto seguito di ballerine, coreografi e truccatori. Le performance live della band sono infatti un vero e proprio spettacolo, essi accompagnano il loro sound con danze e provocazioni molto particolari.
La storia di questo album inizia nel 1998, quando la loro etichetta (l'International Deejay Gigolo Records) pubblica finalmente "Best album ever", il primo singolo estratto è "Emerge" e riscuote un successo internazionale; ma l'album definitivo sarà pubblicato solamente nel 2002 dall'etichetta inglese Ministry Of Sound e il nome che gli verrà dato sarà appunto "#1".
Dopo questa parentesi biografica quanto mai necessaria passiamo all'album, alla musica, finalmente.
Il disco è tirato come pochi ed è composto da 11 tracce, undici potenziali singoli se non per qualche eccezione; Si viaggia con piacere da canzoni tranquille come "Tone Poem" all'energia pura trasmessa dal singolo "Emerge", passando per la splendida "the 15th" e concludendo con la psichedelica "ersatz".
Se li si volesse catalogare in un genere si direbbe immediatamente elettronica, per quanto loro si definiscano una pop band. Dicono di voler fare il pop per come dovrebbe essere, ma come tutti sappiamo non è. Certo è un obiettivo arduo da raggiungere ma la forza di questo duo, oltre alle esibizioni dal vivo, sta proprio nell'eccezionale mix di pop e elettronica.
Sono molto più di un semplice duo, sono coloro che hanno inizializzato una moda, quella elettronico, che ora è molto "diffusa" (per essere gentili) nei club ma della quale difficilmente si riesce a cogliere il giusto sound. Loro ci sono riusciti.
Per gli amanti delle discoteche, per gli intenditori; consigliato a chi ancora non lo conosce ;-)

Reviewed, it seemed
As if someone were watching over it
Before it was
As if response were based on fact
Providing, deciding, it was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there
Renewed, it fought
As if it had a cause to live for
Denied, it learned
As if it had sooner been destroyed
Providing, deciding, it was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there
It was not there
It was not there
It was..
Reviewed, it fought
As if someone were watching over it
Before it had sooner been denied
Renewed, it seemed
As if it had a cause to live for
Destroyed, it was later based on /fact/ [original, "find" used?]

06 Tone Poem (04:13)
In the sanctuary
Of private rhetoricy
When a bustling crowd intrudes
Where rival ship meets no incentive
To impale its reckless course
[1–2–3–4]
Where all is lulled
To peace and quiet
Is of all places
The most appropriate
To illuminate
The sparkling fires of love
And receive in turn the electro-darts
Of sweet devotion.
Doo doo dee dah dee doo doo
Sparkling fires
Electro-darts

09 Natural Disaster (04:43)
Oh, oh, oh...
All alone...
'gone out
So many nights
Nobody's there
Lost and wasted
Why am I alone?
Who made me this way?
(Natural Disaster)
All alone, alone
Why am I alone?
I feel so alone
Natural disaster (disaster)
Natural disaster (disaster)
Oh, this night mistrust (heartless rust)
Who made me this way?
Blinding, spinning, shining, bright and burning, ruined, dead, hurting
Blinding, spinning, shining, bright and burning, ruined, dead, hurting
Light is blinding, spinning and shining, bright and burning, ruined and hurting, colours are flashing, in the dark smoke, mirrors the face is hoping, I can re - member why I, came here before, I don't know how I, feel like I don't know, I feel like I don't know, how will I feel like, I don't know how I, feel like I don't know, how will I feel, I, how will I feel, I.
(All alone, all alone, all alone)
