So disco isn't dead.... it's back in the form of Hercules and Love Affair sounding the same as it always did.
This shit will probably be huge this year.
Thoughts so far?
I can't get into that disco sound. The song with Antony ain't bad though.
hey
Pffft, I searched 'Hercules'. No thread.
how was he to know.
got a myspaz link or something blake?
Nah, I can't access MySpace at work, but i'm sure they're there.
I'd do a search on Hype Machine though. Look for 'Blind'.
wears gold jiffies and slides around loungeroom. there are silk scarves etc
Pitchfork gave it a 9.1
Will it begin now?
are these the guys who have Antony on their single? It was godawful if so.
It is.
I like the single, but nothing else has grabbed me. First track ain't bad.
Hmmm, I'm not getting this. Not getting it at all. Do I need to be a struggling Broadway dancer to like it?
blind is single of the week on USA itunes store, over 2000 comments with an average user rating of 1 and a half stars
i like this album, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
Hercules Theme alone should be on dancefloors across the world. The rest of the album is okay.
any band that refers to themselves in the third person rules. even if DISCO SUCKS
the album is a house record .. and house is simple disco rebranded.
I really like them.
the disco familiar to people in australia was of the worst commercial kind. the stuff that was coming out of new york and chicago just prior to the bee gees and saturday night fever was really not that different to what is still played in clubs.
i enjoy this album a lot, i want to like blind but i dislike antony's voice in the mix, it's too loud. rest of the album is great though, cruisy relaxing music.
It's all good gay disco. They played at my mate's venue in NYC, I thought they were alright. Would be alot better if Antony was playing live with them. The production is very Bronski Beat.
Andy Butler did an amazing mix on Triple R last night.
