Has everything was still missing at Róisín Murphy:

For a long time dead disco, and even for good reason. A music that, after some initial protest was only Komerz and had lost all their significance, the world really does not need now. Nevertheless stir lately always new aspirations, this tote Genre wiederzuleben: First there was Madonna, the disaster handed in her earache preparatory "Confessions of a Dancefloor", then came Róisín Murphy who with "Overpowered" Although a reasonably solid, but ultimately disappointing Discopop-follow-up album "Ruby Blue" handed in.

Everything still went wrong on Overpowered, Hercules and Love Affair make right here: The debut album of the band from New York then celebrated even less a revival but rather a new beginning. Dance bar are all pieces on this record by far not. The opener "Time Will" and "Easy", supported by the stunning voice of Antony Hegarty, or "Iris" just count the slower pieces of the highlights of the album.

Hercules and Love Affair succeed while the Balaceakt, on the one hand to view the disco sound with a wink, to provide it with unusually complex texts, and yet remain committed to the genre.

Probably one of the best albums of 2008, including those that can begin with disco less otherwise.
