Death In Vegas – Scorpio Rising (2xLP)

"Scorpio Rising" is the third album by British electronica band Death in Vegas with guest vocalists Liam Gallagher, Hope Sandoval, Nicola Kuperus and Paul Weller. Death in Vegas' Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes created one of their best records by combining synths with guitar rock and psychedelia. A taste of "My Bloody Valentine" and some electro impulses are built up excitingly in the different parts of the album. They use different samples in their sounds, so you can hear classics like "Rock Around the Clock" (Bill Haley & His Comets) and "Goin' Back" (The Byrds). Several songs from the album have appeared on film soundtracks, "Girls" can be heard on the soundtrack to the 2003 film "Lost in Translation" and "Hands Around My Throat" can be heard on the soundtrack to "Animatrix".

Richard Fearless is the only active member of the original Death in Vegas line-up. Their sound is influenced by rock, dub and industrial music.
