Electronic > Death In Vegas Electronic

better dead than red

Advantages: great album
Disadvantages: bit dark in places

With the pictures of Elvis Presley on the cover and the multiple references in the band's name and the album title one could be forgiven for thinking that someone in the Death in Vegas camp has an affection for The King. That man is Richard Fearless, who known as a DJ primarily was involved in the Heavenly Social Club in Clerkenwell Road and has been a mover and shaker in the underground dance scene for a number of years. His cohort at the time of ...
...about every field of music production from the BBC to Country and Western. This wealth of experience put the duo in a good place when it came to recording an album. With Richard's understanding of the UK dance scene and Steve's knowledge of production and engineering skills the music they created was an eclectic and full bodied mixture of deep soulful and sombre grooves with style and substance. With a root in dub, as well as breakbeat dance much ...

Review of Dead Elvis - Death In Vegas

Deserter Songs

Advantages: Making the Indie-Dance Crossover Genre Cool Again.
Disadvantages: Can't Play This Album Using Winamp Because of the Dirge Cd Rom!

...oozes class. The Contino Sessions is the soundtrack to the coolest lounge Bar around. It is mature electronica which would suit those not out for an immediate aural fix. Those who flash 'Tune' placards over their fluorescent heads will be sorely disappointed. Those enamoured with Screamadelica type indie-dance crossovers will be more than satisfied. Death in Vegas are a great addition to an underground music scene that is thankfully beginning to ...

Review of Contino Sessions, The - Death In Vegas

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...

Review of Gatecrasher's Club Anthems 1993-2009 [Digipak] - Various Artists

Soil Festivities - Beautiful, soothing instrumental music.

Advantages: Music to really relax to.
Disadvantages: Movement 3 breaks the mood somewhat!

...first track (movement 1) of Soil Festivities, and showed him actually playing and recording it. It started with thunder and rain, and then lots of birds and animals gathering around an African watering hole to drink. I was captivated. There are no actual animal sounds used but birds are mimicked by the synthesisers. The music is so gentle, uplifting and soothing. Layer upon layer of beautiful sounds. Very warm feeling. Completely instrumental throughout. ...
...really make synthesiser music that is full of emotion and feeling. There a 5 movements to this album. Movement 3 is less relaxing, more turbulent, and not one of my favourites. The other tracks more than make up for this. Perfect for background or upfront listening. Good for bedtime (except movement3). Highly recommended if you like relaxing instrumental music. ...

Review of Soil Festivities - Vangelis

lesacvspip - Angles = A Epic Story of your life

Advantages: Driving beats, Superb Lyrics, Well Created
Disadvantages: Strong Language

When you hear Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip are a DJ and a MC. You probably think another duo with a DJ and MC, But this is different Dan Le Sac's Tracks are an art form in itself using technical LFO's and "Mashed" up beats to drive the music into your "soul" and put together with Scroobius Pips Poetry they make one hell of a combo. The tracks on this album are about Politics, Self harm and how we perceive ourselves and beauty. The Song the album ...
...deep song showing the effects we have on people around us and what we can cause. other tracks on this album are ranging from the hit "Thou Shall Always Kill" to the latest song "Waiting For the Beat to Kick in". This Album Is Very well Mastered and mixed, most songs produced by Dan Le Sac himself and Yila. Some Strong Language* ...
