There must be a predestined path to success for artists in the techno genre – make music, sell to the commercial industry.

Listening through Overseer’s latest album, “Wreckage,” might remind listeners of primetime commercial breaks. The group walks the same path of other techno mixers Fatboy Slim and Moby with several tracks gaining promotion through television ads.

But “Wreckage” doesn’t need familiarity to help listeners appreciate Overseer’s work. The group presents a combined sound and feel that should help sell thousands of records without the commercial push.

The album should grab listener’s attention with early tracks “Slayed” and “Horndog.” The two songs offer pulsating techno tracks with a strong sound and diverse enough compilation to keep the repetition from getting old.

Repetition is one quality that hurts other tracks like “Velocity Shift” and “Heligoland,” but taken as a whole the album is very diverse.

“Supermoves” may sound familiar after appearing in the soundtrack to Guy Ritchie’s 2001 film, “Snatch.”

Songs “Meteorology” and “Aquaplane” slow down the album’s rave feel for a more relaxed, easier mood.

The change in the tempo should help the listener appreciate the delicate mixing of the album that includes psychedelic sound with mood altering beats.

It is difficult for most techno groups to distinguish themselves from the crowded genre, but Overseer takes a deep stab at releasing itself from the masses with this work. The album is at times repetitive and only occasionally filled with unoriginal beats, but overall the sound is quality and worth buying.

Techno fans will be pleased, and general audiences should take advantage of a good album to warm themselves to the genre.
