Author: APOLLO FOUR FORTY

Format: Remixes included

Release Date: 09-04-2013

Details: Amazon.ca Apollo Four Forty have nothing if not a preponderance of raw, frenzied energy going for them. Whether they're channeling Van Halen on "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub" (off 1997's Electro Glide in Blue) or indulging in goofy Fatboy Slimesque big beat on songs like "Stop the Rock" off of this disc, there's no denying their good-natured, infectious enthusiasm. While the empty-headedness that such manic tendencies often breed can be exasperating, their willingness to experiment keeps everything so fresh that you barely have time to notice. Rock-god guitar riffs mixed with scratch samples and pumped-up bass lines ("Cold Rock the Mic") give way to light drum & bass-influenced noodlings with trance atmospherics ("For Forty Days") without skipping a beat. Even when the whole thing starts to get a bit hokey, the band's creative drive makes it audibly palatable. Apollo Four Forty end up walking a techno-rock tightrope with a safety net made of cheese. --Matthew Cooke Product Description This is their second US album release with the eight piece English dance rock collective. Combining the explosive sounds of Big Beat and Drum 'n Bass with a fair share of rock 'n roll.
