<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
album of the year for ireallylovemusic<\/u>? <\/p>\n
quite possibly.<\/p>\n
the mixture of analogue synths, dark night moods, and f*cked up lazy vocals hits all the right spots.<\/p>\n
i loved 2004s satans circus<\/font> for its lack of vocalists and kraftwerk<\/strong> meets tangerine dream<\/strong> electronics, as prior to that album it was all getting a little too ‘look at us and our famous mates’<\/em>. thankfully, this time around it’s mainly richard vocals alongside some extras from austra<\/strong> singer, katie stelmanis, that are dropped into the mix, with the results being rather special.<\/p>\n over all, this album is an excellent combination of the synth workouts of the previous album mixed up with the more straightforward song based tracks on scorpio rising<\/font>, the contino sessions<\/font>, which has to be something to celebrate.<\/font><\/p>\n not only that, but the cover art is just wonderful. <\/p>\n easily the best cover art that’s graced a death in vegas<\/strong> album.<\/p>\n oh, and if you dash out to the shops now (online or otherwise), there is a limited edition version that has instrumentals\/remixes etc making it all that more essential.<\/p>\n welcome back.<\/p>\n
