Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A milestone in the evolution of British big beat, Dead Elvis shunned the speed, cocaine and amyl nitrate-inspired sounds of its peers for music that suggested the effects of opium or barbiturates. Not that there's anything sluggish about it; rather, it's heavy-lidded and dosed with dub for a profoundly narcotic effect. It's hard to pick stand-outs from a record of such overall high quality, but "Dirt", with its abrasive guitars smeared across a juddering bassline and a bowel-quake of a drumbeat, is truly a thing deserving of awe. "GBH" also does a fair job of living up to its title, in a lively two-step kind of way; and the overtly psychedelic "Rekkit" and "Rocco" probably sound just as good, and much the same, played backwards. --David Bennun

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it... satisfaction guaranteed., 19 Nov 2002
By Mr. N. Connolly "nc1980" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dead Elvis (Audio CD)
Dead Elvis opens with a cracking, stylish, sample wistfully dragging you up to speed with this stoner friendly, conversation inducing, monster of a debut.

Unlike many artist of this genre Death in Vegas' music is intelligent, involving, and evolving. I saw them support the Chemicals years ago and if I'm being honest they weren't all that. The sound was too big for a support act and no one in the audience really got it. A lack of facilities (two turntables') and dodgy bowl cuts really clouded what they were trying to do.

A few years later I saw them again. This time they were headlining and were awesome. A well-informed friend of mine still claims they sounded better than the Prodigy on their Jilted tour (completely different I know but I'm sure you catch my drift).

The point is, these guys aren't just electronic maestros. They create well structured, deep, tunes, that require input from many talented musicians, that work live, that can be listened to by almost anyone, and even make you want to boogie.

Dead Elvis is my favourite Death in Vegas album for one very simple reason. It's all them. No star struck collaboration can undermine who and what this album is about. This is Death in Vegas. Although 'all that glitters is not gold' ... this album glitters and it's certainly golden.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't not like this album., 20 April 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Elvis (Audio CD)
You can't not like this album. You just can't.
On eleven tracks, Deathin Vegas have tried their hand at (at least) eleven different styles, andpulled them all off perfectly without ever sounding like they're fakingit.
Every track surprises you by being completely different to the onebefore it, but just as good.
It's one of the most varied andconsistently excellent albums you'll ever hear, so don't spend anothersecond of your life without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mellow and very varied album., 17 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Elvis (Audio CD)
Dead Elvis is a brilliantly diverse album. Death in Vegas are hard to put in a genre, but whatever they try their hand at here, they pull it off. There's no fillers; every track stands out. It's very different to the more recent "The Contino Sessions", but I much prefer this one. Very very good.
