Whack the album on, you get a stripped down funky house intro of Unnecessary. From there we move to the 'pop' track of Attention. David is something that should have hit big, should have been heard everywhere, all the elements are right, grooving beats, catchy riffs and vocal. Great. Well at least it penetrated the underground I suppose (Darren Emerson's Underwater label has had a knack of pairing Gus Gus releases with nice remixes!). Desire comes next, almost an old skool Orbital track by sound. Wonderful synths, and etherial vocals echo around the electro breaks. Attention, Dance You Down and IIE let the house beats take the fore. Going from slow deep mechanical whirrings and repetative shout of ATTENTION on ... Attention, to the banging distorted hardcore bass drum and swirling acid synth of IIE. Call Of The Wild is the standout track of the album for me. Well programmed synths, changing attack and velocity as the track progresses, military style drumming, soothing soulful vocals. You have to hear it basically. Detention is a short little interlude of ambient synths, lovely in its own right. Your Moves Are Mine sets a soft vocal to dischordant beats and bass. The album rounds off with Don't Hide What You Feel, shuffling, staggering house beats eventually lead way to smooth vocals.
Gus Gus count Massive Attack, Bjork and Madonna as fans. Perhaps Gus Gus should have been on production duties instead of Mirwais for American Life, because if you're going to do a gritty electronic house album, you do it like this. Proper Bo.
