Death In Vegas - where to start...?

Posted by: andy c on 03 September 2004

Hi,
Was at the cinema the other day and watched an ad - identified the music as Death in Vegas' 'hands around my throat' from the scorpio rising album.

recommendations please?

I've long liked Death in Vegas, although I wasn't as impressed with Scorpio Rising as I was with the first two releases.

Everyone should have "Dead Elvis", the first release. the track "Dirt" alone is worth the entrance money, amd likely to be familiar to many.

"The Contino Sessions" is a darker more moody recording, but to my mind even more involving. "Dirge" and "Aladdin's Story" are my favourites.

I'd buy both of the above in preference to Scorpio to be honest, but I haven't listened to it as much as the others. "Dead Elvis" would certainly be amongst a Desert Island list of mine, although quite how long a list I couldn't say...

Cheers

Rod
