2LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

The album which was named after the studio Death in Vegas recorded most of their records is the crown on their career. Its an album full of surprises from one of the most interesting electronica groups to come out of the 90s. The production and arrangements from the duo Richard Fearless / Tim Holmes are combined with the greatness by guitarist Ian Button and bassist Mat Flint. Its a fine combination of their electronica sounds and the more rocking music. The vocal guest appearances by Iggy Pop, Jim Reid of the Jesus and Mary Chain, Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, and Dot Allison are incredible and theyre pushing this record to a higher level. This albums beauty lies in the complexity of the emotions it exhibits.

A curiously tender, black-hearted modern soul classic; the last great record of the millennium, if were being pretentious, was how NME described Death in Vegas second album (1999), which took its name from the Contino Rooms in London (where it was recorded) and was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize.
