Ikon are a group on a mission, a mission to evangelise the dancing world and with this album they certainly have a chance at hitting the spot. 'Global Transmission' contains both vocal dance tracks and some serious stomping hardcore. The first two tracks really get the adrenaline pumping and certainly aren't for the faint hearted, but the rest of the album lacks the vitality of the opening tracks. There are obvious Josh Wink influences in this album, notably "What Are We Looking For?", which rings of "Higher State Of Consciousness", and draws parallels with commercial dance music. 'Global Transmission1 certainly opens up evangelistic doors and though it has glitches it is accessible to major dance fans.
