17 Minute Electro House Opera Like 17 Min Monster - It's hard to overstate the importance Justice have had on the electronic music landscape, but i'd wager that the majority of people will know them for their crossover smash hit Cross. Cross was a pioneering work of glitched, filtered electro business, and hit many a dancefloor and house party for a good few years there. there were moments in that LP of the sort of progressive, snappy cut-paste business we see on the brilliant Planisphere, but the latter went mostly unheralded by the very merit of it not being Cross.
On it's own, the epic Planisphere could easily have turned just as many heads, it's a proggy slice of funky electro but effortlessly moves between those two worlds and into spine-tingling epic house lifts, but is just as surprising as it is groovy. Band-pass filters and resonance sweeps suddenly break into cavernous reverb and soaring 1-2 percussives. It's a lot less sugary but a lot more textured, a bold and shifting wall of glimmering electronic moods.
