Glee

Glee, the 1997 debut album by Canadian collective Bran Van 3000, is an eclectic collage of electronic, alternative dance, alternative rock, big beat and disco influences. The record mixes sample-based production with live instrumentation and a rotating cast of vocalists, creating a cinematic, party-ready atmosphere that moves between downtempo grooves, funky disco-tinged numbers and high-energy big beat tracks. Its genre-hopping arrangements, playful mood and layered production helped establish Bran Van 3000's identity as an experimental, cross-genre collective.
