Be prepared to embark on an adventure in mood and texture, to groove like never before as DEAD CITIES transports you to a hazy dreamland of ambient stylings. Future Sound Of London has a method to their madness, a way with their beats, grooves, layers and dubs that is uniquely their own. While this album may not be the appropriate response to all your moods, when it fits, it fits like a glove.DEAD CITIES is more than just a great trance-inducer, it's an out-of-this-world experience, bringing you to a place where there's a lot to see. Some parts of this world are very beautiful and some are ugly, some soft and gentle, some cruder, but the contrasts are the most beautiful of all. DEAD CITIES IS A rich, textured album with more layers than one could count. Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (12/26/96, p.195) - "...dashing scavengers...fashioning their apocalyptic electronica from ravaged, rehabilitated scraps of Run-DMC, Ozric Tentacles, Welsh songbird Mary Hopkin and a little girl crying....full of color, mood and an emotionally agitated, last-stand vitality that rarely grows in the suburbs." Entertainment Weekly (11/22/96, p.138) - "...A somber mix that will challenge even the most die-hard electronic-music devotees." - Rating: B+ Q (11/96, p.122) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...an effects-laden stream of conciousness. Here you are as likely to run into the spectral beauty of an ersatz choir as you are the sound of exploding TVs. The keynote, though, is doom, death, and decay....Is it art? undoubtedly....fun? Not without several stiff drinks inside you." Alternative Press (12/96, p.74) - 5 (out of 5) "...perhaps the most complete, vibrant and challenging set of music you'll hear this year..." Muzik (11/96, p.128) - 4 out of 5 - "...Bleak and unforgiving, set adrift on a sea of osive beats lend a fierce rhythmic urgency to the dense backdrop of sampled noise....[with] a symphonic flair that most ambient/techno pretenders would scarcely imagine, let alone attempt..." Option (1-2/97, pp.87-88) - "...the perfect soundtrack for a post-apocalyptic society....an eclectic mix of trancey soundscapes, electronic wizardry and scary found sounds....There's no better music for creeping through cyberspace." NME (Magazine) (12/21-28/96, pp.66-67) - Ranked #47 in NME's 1996 critic's poll.
