Album Review:Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact

If you are embarking on a career in modern dance or rehearsing a juggling act that you plan to present before the hiring team at Cirque du Soleil, Gang Gang Dance's newest LP Eye Contact might be your soundtrack.    Drum machine and latin funk percussion laden upon dramatic Animotion synthesizer backdrops while the band reaches for early Art of Noise, which makes for a chaotic and accidentally hilarious listen.    There have been a few chuckles from the music of 2011 such as Rainbow Arabia's Boys and Diamonds, Sixx A.M's This is Gonna Hurt, and Liquid Stranger's Mechanoid Meltown, but you'd expect more from this competent group of musicians than an album you'd find in the Cirque du Soleil gift shop.

Album Review:Sixx A.M - This is Gonna Hurt

Bass guitarist Nikki Sixx continues with his post-Motley Crue trio Sixx A.M on their latest LP "This is Gonna Hurt" and a book release of the same name.    Mr. Sixx takes his comfortable position with his bass and allows the remaining pair of his trio to take lead guitar, lead vocal, and they all select some programmed drums.    Sadly, after several listens to "This is Gonna Hurt", you get the feeling that, apart from the obviously ironic title, the target market for this album would be a grade 10 American football team with their eye on the tri-county title, and then the album closes with a track that might also work well in an animated Disney film.
