John Tejada Little Green Lights And Four Inch Faders A13 2/99 [AA004] Two years after his “Pure Punk” full length as Lucid Dream, Los Angeles' John Tejada returns to to the Essex-based A13 imprint to record under his own name for his second album. Tejada's skill is evident immediately in his arrangements. It's one thing to string together some melodies, mix in some chords, and add percussion, but you've got to put it all together. This is the complete package. The result here is twelve tracks that don't fuss around, getting down to groove lovers of house, tech house, and techno. While others are content to crank out tracks made as DJ tools, Tejada is crafting songs, and they're just as suited for the dancefloor as they are for home listening. He's damn prolific, but the most important thing is that what he creates is memorable. Quality wins over quantity in the music world, but Tejada manages both. --Andrew Duke More Tejada: Check out an interview with John Tejada here. Back to album reviews index
