No influence spills into the next song and that makes for fairly rigidly eclectic listening, but it’s done so artfully that there’s never a sense of stylistic boxes simply being crossed.

Retrieved 30 June 2013. {{ cite web}}: CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown ( link) Scorpio Rising continues along that asymptote towards a supposed "organic" sound, going light on the laptop and heavy on the relics of yesteryear: drums, basses, and guitars. In fact, if not for Death in Vegas' faceless DJ anonymity and a couple of characteristic electronic facets (the implementation of a few choice samples; a roster of Brit-centric celebrity guest vocalists including Paul Weller, Hope Sandoval, and Liam Gallagher), one might assume that the outfit responsible for this album was just a band with a hefty case of NME-approved 60s psych nostalgia.

Such is the DJ’s imperative. Richard Fearless didn’t form Death In Vegas with Tim Holmes to jam in a studio. They were born out of DJ culture and they apply that mentality to making original music. They think, ‘Wouldn’t it be good to have a Plastikman record followed by a Weller or Byrds-type number?’ So they make a neo-Plastikman techno splurge, ‘Natja’, and follow it with Paul Weller singing (with brilliant, husky disdain) former Byrd Gene Clark’s garage adieu ‘So You Say You Lost Your Baby’. And, like the best DJs, they get away with this most diverse of sequencing.

If the debut album glanced at various stylistic possibilities, the sophomore release The Contino Sessions offered a stark concentrated gaze, a long hard stare down the barrel of a gun. There was nothing dance-worthy or ecstatic about this. This was dark and menacing, a narcotic haze of bad intent, sounding exactly like a death in Vegas, a prophecy fulfilled. Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) and Jim Reid (Jesus and Mary Chain) contributed unsavory voices, and most memorably, Iggy Pop stumbled across the album’s seedy landscape. “Aisha / We’ve only just met / And I think you ought to know / I’m a murderer”, beyond being the most startling couple of lines to open a song in recent memory, was the pivotal moment on a vision actualized, a vision toxic with debauched paranoia. Death in Vegas set up their own label, Drone Records, [4] and released their fourth album, Satan's Circus, in 2004. Scorpio Rising is the third album by British electronica band Death in Vegas. It was released on 16 September 2002 in the United Kingdom via Concrete Records, and on 17 June 2003 in the United States via Sanctuary Records. The album takes its name from an experimental film by Kenneth Anger. [1] Scorpio Rising features guest vocalists Liam Gallagher, Hope Sandoval, Nicola Kuperus, and Paul Weller, as well as string arrangements by L. Subramaniam. The album was recorded at Death in Vegas' very own studio The Contino Rooms in early 2002, with the strings recorded at Trinity Wave Station in Chennai, India. [2]
