Press writeup:
For those of you who know Atom Heart know that he stands for surprises -=
 whether it be covering versions of pop classics, his recent latin covers of=
 Kraftwerk songs, pornographic hip hop sung in Spanish, psychedelic ambient=
 music or Japanese pop, Atom Heart has brought toegether a world of=
 magnificent oddities unlike any other composer. Now you are confronted with=
 an album that confesses the deep connection of it's creator: "My Life With=
 Jesus." Like so many other productions we know from Mr. Heart, this release=
 basically provokes a questionmark of remarkable size. These questionmarks=
 are ATom Heart's way to communicate to the listener... throwing or leading=
 him/her into a realm of reference codes, styles, truths, fallacies,=
 emulated or simulated realities. Now, you may have understood, that "My=
 Life With Jesus" is not a record "abou" somebody's life with Jesus, neither=
 is it a religious record at all... as Atom Heart's "XXX" album's not really=
 "about" pornography. In fact like so many of his releases, this is not an=
 album "about" anything at all. "My Life With Jesus" is a questionmark, by=
 touching another code amongst thousands, Atom Heart is simply asking=
 questions so basic as - can this be authentical? Like so many times fusing=
 fringe aesthetics as well as alledgedly "well known" stereotypes, we are=
 left confusted about "what is real."

"My Life With Jesus" represents an evolutionary step in the progression=
 where the unessentialist sounds that were magnified on "Clicks & Cuts" and=
 the funky soul and grooves of House Music have collided. We are at the=
 beginning of a powerful and unforgettable face, that heralds a revolution=
 of club music for the coming years. Time for Clickhouse.

Lance summary:
Atom Heart creates eight tracks of dubby, quirky, clicks & cuts-styled deep=
 experimental house (somewhat like a housier DOS TRACKS sound) and combines=
 that with male and female vocals - ranging from vocoders to soul divas -=
 about various religious aspects. The vocal usage varies from nothing to=
 full lyrics but they are typically used sparingly. Once again Atom Heart=
 has created a "unique" listening experience which is more musicically=
 appealing than lyrically.
