I first heard of Professor Small through their mp3.com page back in the late 1990s. They play electronic music, but don\u2019t think techno or Joy Electric. Think original music with melody, humor, and originality that just happens to be created electronically. Technically, Professor Small is a side project of two DJs (Professor Television and Mr. Small) that teamed up to create something different. Their 1999 debut album Go! Contains some great songs (like \u201cAnimals At The Disco\u201d), but there seemed to be a stark contrast between the catchy songs and the experimental songs. Escape! came along and found a way to marry the catchy and the experimental in every song, making a cohesive and interesting listen from start to finish. You can check out some songs on their MySpace, and then order the discs there if you like what you hear. I recently purchased this disc, so I can (hopefully) pretty safely say that you can still order their music from their MySpace page.<\/p>\n[2004 Independent | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/professorsmall\" target=\"_blank\">MySpace.com\/professorsmall<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This album is a bit different than the other albums reviewed this issue.
