Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A collaborative effort with an off-the-wall theme: Stainless Style finds Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and Los Angeles producer Boom Bip--aka Neon Neon--paying tribute to the life of maverick car manufacturer John DeLorean, designer of the vehicle you saw crossing the event horizon in Back to the Future. Sonically, then, we’re in the '80s, Boom Bip layering ticking drum machines and vintage synthesisers to craft a windswept backdrop of cold metal, sleek electronics and polished chrome. This is a pop record, too though: "I Told Her on Alderaan" is a gleaming tribute to the excesses of new romantic pop, from chugging verse to soaring chorus, while "Raquel", an opulent disco cut complete with one-finger keyboard melodies, details DeLorean’s real-life romance with Raquel Welsh. While Rhys’ voice has never exactly been tailor-made for straining at the high notes, he handles the theme with the requisite mix of wit and pathos, and where the storyline demands, he’s joined by guests including Har Mar Superstar and rappers Spank Rock and Yo Majesty, who whip "Sweat Shop" into lusty, booty-bumping electro. Converting DeLorean’s life story into sound probably sounded like an idea as eccentric as its subject--but against all the odds, Stainless Style is a concept album that works. --Louis Pattison

CD Description
Only in the eccentric minds of Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and electro stalwart Boom Bip (otherwise known as BryanHollon) could a concept album about the life and times of John DeLorean become a fully-fledged musical reality. Featuring collaborations with Spank Rock, Yo Majesty and, bizarrely, The Magic Numbers, 'Stainless Style' is a hook-laden science-fiction odyssey, referencing Star Wars and myriad 80s influences, while retaining the pop sensibility of Gruff Rhys' projects and the innovation of Boom Bip's. Includes the single 'I Lust You', featuring Cate Le Bon.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Own Life On Mars Moment, 30 Jun 2008
By Coincidence Vs Fate (Warwickshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Now then folks, I'm of a certain age - early forties is all I'll admit to - and I like my music aged, preferably recorded sometime between 1978 and December 1989.

I was listening to Marc Radcliffe on Radio 6 in the bath like you do and he played this track...it was fantastic...I stopped soaping my duckie and thought to myself "hold on, I must have missed that first time around, I wonder who it is?" Well, you could have knocked me down with a bottle of Radox when he said it was the new single by a band called Neon Neon.

Intrigued, I checked Amazon and found that there was also an album. I bought it and I love it.

Some tracks are a little throwaway - I'm not to keen on the rap one - but the rest of the album is fantastic and suits me right down to the ground.

"Dream cars" is fabulous as is the previous single "Raquel", but my favourite is still that new single "I Told Her On Alderaan".

Most tracks sound like they should be on the soundtrack to Back To The Future. And, ladies and gentlemen, that is a GOOD thing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, 8 May 2009

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Too slick, too polished and too much. This brand of electro funk should be awesome but instead it is just boring. I really wanted this to be awesome but it just wasn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faultless Style, 17 Mar 2008
By A. Tool (Cardiff) - See all my reviews
Gruff Rhys has shown many times how versatile his musical capabilities are, and this proves once again that he has to be one of the most innovative musical brains out there. Being a fan of Rhys and Boom Bip's solo work, the prospect of this collaboration was very exciting. It certainly delivers! In short, this is great, the first truly great album of 2008 which I doubt will be bettered come December. There's a strong retro/electro feel about the album throughout, but it does retain individuality true to Rhys and Mr. Bip!

Get this now, ah go on....

Great album. Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip are a marriage made in heaven. They even make Har Mar Superstar very cool. If you have an open mind get this album.
