FISHERSPOONER NO 1 ALBUM INTERNATIONAL DEEJAY GIGOLO RELEASE: AUGUST 6, 2001 REVIEW: OCTOBER 30, 2001

Sometimes when I feel really old and grumpy, I usually state there is no good electronic music made after 1989. When I first heard Fisherspooner's album "No 1", I thought it was a re-recording of something never released in the happy eighties.
Their debut album is the very definition of retro. It is filled with moments that shift between punk, pop and electro. The obvious influences are bands like Soft Cell, Human League, Men without Hats and The Normal. I'm talking early eighties, and I love it.
Fisherspooner are a New York based musical collective consisting of various vocalists, a choreograph, dancers, make up artists and so on. Nothing could be more right. Their live acts are true performances. Arty stuff that is. Welcome back: decade of decadence and good expectations!
