Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Norwegian electronic group dramatically pivots from their earlier dark electro foundations, fully embracing uplifting trance and synth-pop melodies. 'Welcome to Earth' incorporates sweeping, club-ready progressive house beats with highly sentimental science-fiction lyrical themes. The album is widely recognized as a catalyst for the international popularization of the futurepop subgenre.
