Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
Richard Fearless has earned his name. Death in Vegas's 1997 debut, Dead Elvis, established him as a defiant DJ, mixing techno with weird dub, rock, and industrial. Despite itself, the disc spawned a hit ("Dirt"), an experience he may have wished to replicate here, though Contino pushes even harder in multiple directions. Many high-profile guests add to the blend of smooth grooves, noisy ambience, and raucous rock rhythms. Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie conjures a laid-back hip-hop posture for "Soul Auctioneer," while Jim Reid makes "Broken Little Sister" sound a lot like his own band, Jesus and Mary Chain. On "Aisha," Iggy Pop's wicked monologue could rival Nick Cave's creep-factor were it not for Fearless's musical playfulness. From gospel choirs and organs to Americana twang, deep bass rumblings to spacey sci-fi sounds, The Contino Sessions is a psychedelic trip with bravery and grit. --Liisa Ladouceur

Chronique amazon.fr
Deuxième album de ce duo anglais, The Contino Sessions renoue avec la formule electro-rock du premier album, l'excellent Dead Elvis paru en 1997. Tout aussi bon, ce disque mélange samples habiles et voix habitées comme l'illustrent les neuf morceaux que l'on retrouve ici. Ainsi, de "Dirge" qui ouvre l'album et qui est également le single extrait de ce disque, à "Aladdin's Story" en passant par "Neptune's City" ou "Death Heat" tout concourt à faire de The Contino Sessions un excellent album. --Florent Mazzoleni
