‘Blind’ had the distinction of being reviewed by practically every Update writer, just one example of the mass furore greeting this wonderful new missile from the DFA stable. Suffice to say, the single was no fluke. Andrew Butler, Tim Goldsworthy, Nomi, Kim Ann Foxmann and Antony [of the Johnsons] have created an epic dancefloor celebration which harks back to the days when New York dynamited any genre in the quest for the perfect beat and spiritual salvation. From the spiralling synths and jazz brass on ‘Hercules Theme’ through boogie-rave hybrid ‘You Belong’ to low-slung ‘Easy’ with its slow-grind chorale the album evokes any great era of New York’s illustrious dance past, in the process adding itself to the disco hall of fame.
