Review by Petrus (Piter) Piter

Planet Detroit Vs The Roxanne Plague by Maggotron: A Retro Electro Odyssey That Still Hits Back in '85, when neon leg warmers were all the rage and synthesizers ruled the airwaves, Maggotron dropped Planet Detroit Vs The Roxanne Plague. This electro-heavy mashup of hip-hop beats and electronic vibes didn’t just land—it exploded. Released under Jamron Records, this album is a wild ride through futuristic soundscapes that still feel fresh today. With James McCauley steering the ship as producer and concept creator, you can tell there was some serious thought behind this chaotic masterpiece. Let’s talk tracks for a sec. First up, “Radio Mars.” Man, this one sticks with me like gum on a hot sidewalk. It’s got this pulsing beat that feels like your brain’s being zapped by alien signals (in the best way possible). E.J. Brown’s vocals float over the mix like he’s narrating an intergalactic journey, while Jose Martin’s guitar riffs sneak in just enough grit to keep things grounded. You can practically picture yourself cruising through space in some chrome-plated spaceship, dodging asteroids and bad vibes. If you’re into music that makes you think and move, this track nails it. Then there’s “Prelude To The Planet Detroit,” which is basically the calm before the storm—or so you think. At first, it lures you in with these lush keyboard layers courtesy of Ron Sansone. But don’t get too comfy; about halfway through, the bassline drops like a sledgehammer, and suddenly you’re wide awake. It sets the stage perfectly for the title track, giving off major cinematic vibes. Honestly, if this wasn’t made in 1985, I’d swear someone pulled it straight out of a modern sci-fi flick. One thing that stands out about this record is how cohesive it feels despite its genre-blending chaos. Tracks like “Escape Devoid” and “Return To The Planet Detroit” loop back to themes introduced earlier, creating this sense of continuity that pulls you deeper into Maggotron’s world. And let’s not forget J. McCauley and J. Martin’s writing chops—they knew exactly how to craft hooks that burrow into your skull without overstaying their welcome. Here’s the kicker though: listening to Planet Detroit Vs The Roxanne Plague now feels almost prophetic. Sure, it’s dripping with ‘80s nostalgia, but the way it blends dystopian undertones with danceable grooves? That’s timeless. Like, did they know we’d still be vibing with this stuff nearly four decades later? Or were they just having fun messing around in the studio? Anyway, whether you’re an electro-head or just digging for something different, this album deserves a spot on your playlist. Just don’t blame me if you start hearing “Radio Mars” in your dreams. Oh, and hey—if anyone knows where I can score a ticket to Planet Detroit, hit me up. Sounds like my kinda place.
