Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Following up 2002's EP Le Funk comes this charming full length LP from Kentucky based VHS or Beta. Night On Fire takes its cue from mixing the near-synthetic rock/dance template (think Duran Duran with a bit more punch, or latterly Dogs Die in Hot Cars) with plaintively simple but effective vocals, and succeeds in creating a sound akin to a rock version of Daft Punk's retro stylings.

Setting out the stalls early with the instantly catchy title track, the album builds on the initial sounds (clipped funk guitars, elastic bass, vocals eerily reminiscent of Robert Smith) and crafts them into songs that are part-dance, part-rock. Despite the limited sonic palette, the album still manages to offer up numerous strong tracks, especially in its' second half.

Interspersed with two instrumentals "Night Waves" and "Forever" (well, it only has a four word lyric) which serve as a breather from Craig Pfunder's occasionally grating vocal style, the album is well paced, with the lengthy meditative exploration of "Irreversible" saved until last. Slowly building up into a mass of guitar noise, before settling back down into a hypnotic groove, this song is a definite highlight, though the entire album definitely demands a listen. --Thom Allott

CD Description
Second long player from Louisville four piece who have beenlikened to The Rapture and The Cure. The singles 'Night On Fire' and 'The Melting Moon' are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dance rock from Kentucky!, 2 Mar 2005
By Andrew Biles - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I heard about these guys quite a while back, comparisons to !!! and some other dance rock bands that seem to have appeared over the past couple of years. I then saw that they were due to be playing a gig over here with Ambulance Ltd that I already had tickets for, so I went along early to check them out. When they came on stage I thought they looked a bit of an odd mix of people, one dressed quite punky, another smart, another retro and the drummer with a few of those electronic drum pads you can get. When they got going I found the music instantly enjoyable. Everything they played was played to a very high standard, and the small crowd was clearly enjoying it with heads nodding. Strangely the only track I found a let down was the title track of this album, 'Night on fire'. When I got home I instantly ordered the album from the US, and how glad I am now. 'Night on fire' works so much better when you don't have to feel bad about not clapping your hands along to the end of the track. The album includes a couple of instrumentals that you don't really notice are instrumentals, they manage to fill the tracks sufficiently to amuse the mind without having to involve vocals. If I were to have to create them out of other bands, I would say !!! mixed with The Cure. The vocals, to me, sound very much like Robert Smith's, and the music has that funky, dancable vibe to it like !!!'s. It's a great album, one to stick on at a party to get people dancing around the place for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this CD, 13 May 2005
By A Customer
This CD is great. I especially like Alive and Forever..but the whole CD is good. The great thing about this music is that it really is for everyone. .. not for a certain age group, but rather for a certain mindset, meaning, if you want to hear some upbeat music that sounds VERY good...buy this CD.
