Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Not exactly dance-pop as commonly defined by Erasure or the Pet Shop Boys, Dirty Vegas's self-titled album nonetheless fits into this genre. In fact, "trance-pop" is arguably the best definition, as it is likely the offspring of Madonna's Ray of Light and Electronic's seminal debut CD. Promising, yes, but the songs become rather indistinguishable from one another, mainly because the vocals--compressed and folky--lend a sameness to tracks that are otherwise diverse in tone and pace. About half the album really shines: "I Should Know" marries a thumping techno beat with a euphoric Disney-like wonderment; "7AM" boasts the best melody on the album; the instrumental "The Brazillian" showcases the songs' strength underneath the homogenizing vocals; and finally, "Days Go By", featured in a car commercial, mesmerizes with synthesized bongos and cosmic rhythmic brush strokes. --Beth Massa

CD Description
Debut album from the London-based three piece act who utilise elements of both dance and rock in their music. The single, 'Days Go By', has been used in a US Mitsubishi TV ad campaign. 'Ghosts' is the second single from this self-titled album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange faces, great album, 12 Feb 2004
This review is from: Dirty Vegas (Audio CD)
It's so strange to come across Dirty Vegas. So few people know who they are, or even that they have an album.

But, well, in a way it's nice, as they don't know what they are missing. And that is a long list!!

Soulful love songs (days go by), quirky beats (I should know), compassionate lyrics (throwing shapes)....I could go on!
Dirty Vegas have a real longevity about their music. They have the feeling of Faithless, or, closer to home, they may grow to rival Royksopp if they are very lucky.

I ma not sure how new their kind of music is. This has been done before, but I see it as if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Have a crap day at work, get stuck in traffic, spill coffee on your trousers. Then go home, get this album on, forget what you were thinking about and enjoy. It's like musical aromatherapy!

If you haven't got Melody Am by Royksopp, go buy that. If you have that but have now listened to it so many times your friends are worried about you, buy Dirty Vegas.
They're different, but just as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic stuff, 17 Jul 2002
This definately has to get a 5 star rating from me, as this album is fantastic from the word go. Each song is placed well in the track listings, and gives the album a better sound.

I wouldn't say it was "trance-pop" as above, it's nothing at all like trance, and pop for that matter. I brand this as a mixture of house and chill-out music. It's certainly an album to put on quitely whilst with your girlfriend or something.

Anyway, If you're hesitating on whether you buy this or not, I have to say 'go for it' coz it's a great album to listen to!

3.0 out of 5 stars Days go by and still I think of... that time in London, 2 Oct 2002
I bought this album when I was in London for a few days in August. I never heard of Dirty Vegas before as neither the single nor the album have been released in Switzerland. Browsing through the racks in one of the large music shops, the really cool artwork of the single "Ghosts" grabbed my attention. I listened to it and instantly loved it! The music reminded me a little bit of X-Press 2's "Lazy". I had to have the album! Before buying it I read some of the reviews in the magazines, most of them hated it, one described it as "dance music for people who don't like dance music". Didn't bother me, "Ghosts" was simply too good... I agree with amazons' reviewer: about half of the songs are great, pop music with an electronic twist, so to speak. The other half is ok. Most of the instrumental-only tracks sound interesting at first, but lose their appeal quite quickly. My favourite tracks are "All or nothing", "Simple things", "Days go by" and, of course, "Ghosts". My advice: Listen to it before buying it.
