I Always Wanted A Pony is the band name of a Swedish dj that clearly idolizes Daft Punk and Kraftwork. There’s a discussion going on online at the moment on the merit of the Swedish band Studio. The question is whether their retro electronica is slightly derivative or just plain stolen. I haven’t heard enough dance/house/electronica to come to any educated conclusion, but I imagine there’s only so much you can do with a throbbing beat and electronic noises. So yes, probably derivative, but fun nonetheless.
That’s my opinion of I Always Wanted A Pony.

P.S. I know it’s a cliche and it’s my least favorite phrase that’s plastered to cd jewel cases of some truly horrible bands, but nonetheless you’ve got to crank this up a bit to get the full effect.
