4.0 out of 5 stars Electronic Disco of the 80's Meets Aussie NuBeat., March 15, 2005

This review is from: Six Feet Above Yesterday (Audio CD)

Around the time When Sasha & JD released, Depeche Mode's, "Enjoy the Silence" remix in 2001, a spark was lit, not previously recognized by elecronic fans. 80's craze. In the past fours years Hybird has remixed REM, Tears for Fears has been done by Cass and Skylark and even Brothers in Rhythm, and Depeche Mode has been remixed by everyone.

Enter Infusion, with their own style and amalgamation between the tempo and mood of the 80's and the elecronic equipment almost three decades later. The stream of influences in the CD is incredible. As mentioned above, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, and even Crystal Method. Don't be fooled though; this isn't 80's/early 90's europop. It's got some hardas$ elements at work.

For those of you heavy into the electronica scene you probably have heard a couple different versions of some of the songs on this CD mixed into sets by Luke Chable, Sean Quinn, and Adam Freeland. Ergo, this CD presents Some great foundation tracks I'm sure you'll continue to hear in many aussie progressive sets.

For those of you not so into the electronic scene, I'm not usually into semi-alternative vocals during breakbeat, but Infusion pulls it off without decadance or verbal dominance. Lyrical themes are good, especially in the song, "girls can be cruel," where frustrations are vented with poetic anger.

I was fairly suprised by the quality of some ambient tracks intersperced throughout the second half of this CD, and found them welcome breaks from the intense style this group employs.

Overall, a pleasing mix, for those with a heavy taste for Europop and Disco. Modern 'dirty' synth satisfies on a lot of levels, and melodic builds also contribute to an overall sense of great production.

Four Stars (Compared with what is available as far as Vinyl.)
Five Stars (Compared with commercially sold Breakbeat.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not the sound I'm used to, October 1, 2005

I am a really big fan of Infusion's remixes... They all have a very distinct sound that is very fresh and different from a lot of other artists. When I heard this album for the first time I was taken aback. It was not anything like what I was expecting. A lot more pop oriented I guess. I guess if you like goldfrapp or something like that you'd probably enjoy this album, but I can't really get into it that much. As I own the import version of of it, I think the second disc would almost be worth buying this copy for the Adam Freeland and Evil 9 remixes... unless I can get them on iTunes.

Wow, i love this CD! Who knew Australians could make such great music???
I'm a big fan of Siobhan Fahey,Goldfrapp and Royksopp and this band fuses lots of elements from those electro delicious bands and adds a splash of rock!
This CD is aboundant with electronic beats with a slight retro feel, with great basslines and of course great male vocals that make this a MUST BUY for all contemporary electronic music fans.
This special version with the extra Remix CD is well worth it,it has awesome additional remixes to play on your stereo full blast.
This band gives me hope that great electronic/pop acts still exist nowadays and produce fresh beats and hypnotic electo songs.
