“i”

Released

Given 69’s unusual power and the sense of being in their own universe, it would have been easy to assume A.R. Kane’s next full-length would stay in the same vein, but “i” finds a new level by not only being a double album but containing both some of their most straightforwardly danceable work to some of their most forbidding. In the former category are hummable songs like “A Love From Outer Space,” the nervous tension of “Crack Up” and the sweeping “Snow Joke,” while the building roar and rage of “Supervixens!” conjures up other moods entirely.
