5.0 out of 5 stars It's a 5 scoop ice cream cone!, April 23, 2000

I initially bought this CD for just the track "Dirt", but after listening to the whole CD, I love each and every song! The intro to "Dirt" was taken from an annoucement at the original Woodstock..."from now on, this is a free concert." Dead Elvis is like getting a 5 scoop ice cream cone with all different flavors and you love each and every flavor. I hear songs to this CD played alot as background music on MTV's Realworld/ Roadrules. It has lot's of variety - something for everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Death in Vegas: Music of the future, February 14, 2001

Combining dub electronic, ambient noise, and great grooves, Death in Vegas is one of the most original bands in decades. Some tunes have a reggae influence, while others are flat out bumping hard trance. The unifying element in Dead Elvis is their gritty, herion-rock sound. Death in Vegas don't use samples as ornamentation, they use simple samples as the centerpiece for each tune; much like avant garde composer Steve Reich.

If you are tired of hearing the same old pop riffs and blues scales, then check out any Death in Vegas CD. Their influence will be heard for several years to come.

Love the ablum. Total "techno", some limbo plane between Mininsrty and early Depeche Mode. Throw in some reggae and some blues and you get a Dead Elvis. Holmes and Fearless have made a great record. Covers all kinda moods and emotions. The thing that seperates them from other "techno" bands is their use of live instrumentation. Yeah this stuff rocks.
