Gus Gus Vs. T-World is an album by the Icelandic group Gus Gus, released in 2000 on 4AD Records.[4]

The album is not strictly a Gus Gus recording but a collection of songs written by Biggi Veira and Herb Legowitz when they were called T-World.[5]

Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report praised the "sleek, instrumental grooves" and "melodic techno and downbeat serenading."[6]
