Description
Following the release of their latest album ‘Satan’s Circus’; which has taken the band in a whole new direction though their self funded label DRONE, this ‘Best Of’ celebrates their success with Concrete Records from 1997 -2002.
With so many incredible tracks packed onto one album, this ‘Best Of’ is testament to why Death In Vegas are one of Britain's most critically acclaimed musical successes. The sheer quality of their song writing is undeniable; from top 10 UK hit “Aisha” through to songs such as “Dirge”, “Scorpio Rising” and “Dirt”. The range of guests alone shows the level of esteem the band are held in – talents as diverse as Iggy Pop, Paul Weller, Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), Liam Gallagher, Dot Allison and Bobby Gillespie have all lined up to guest on DIV songs. Indeed, “Scorpio Rising” featuring Liam Gallagher, is often been billed as “the best single Oasis never made”. Side One of “Milk It” features 11 tracks from across the DIV 3 studio albums “The Contino Sessions”, “Dead Elvis” and “Scorpio Rising”.
In another unique collaboration, Disc 2 features mixes of Death In Vegas tracks from a variety of artists. Tracks on offer include a special mix of 'Scorpio Rising' by The Polyphonic Spree and mixes of the incredible 'Hands Around My Throat', written and produced by Death In Vegas in collaboration with Detroit electro innovators, Adult. Adult's punk like attitude, raw robotic vocals and cutting edge lyrics work perfectly within the context of a Death In Vegas track and this became a much sought after club item.
