Music reviews of Outrageous
Music Review: An Eighties Touch To EBM
Rating: 4 Stars
Alice In Videoland - the very name promises a wild adventure into something quite bizarre. And you bet the name delivers! The band makes music that is a powerful mix of electro, punk and EBM, with pulsating basslines, slamming drums all brought together with cocky and stylish female vocals. Formed in 2002, the band won Best Newcomers at the annual awards for independent music in Sweden in 2004, and now, with some changes to the band line-up, they are finally back with second full-length release, Outrageous.
It is certainly time the world sits up and pays attention to Alice In Videoland, Sweden's answer to the electronic music scene which has been far too safe and boring for too long. Outrageous promises to be more fun and more quirky than their debut release Maiden Voyage. In fact, it is highly reminiscent of early 80's pop and punk-rock... This music is a blend of eighties pop-divas Madonna and Cyndi Lauper with current punk-rockers Sahara Hotnights. A perfect blend that gives extremely catchy results!
The album begins off with the strong "Ladykiller", followed by the catchy adrenaline pumping "Cut The Crap". If the first track gets you only as far as tapping your toes, the second will no doubt make you get off your chair and get you dancing. "Emily" follows next, taking the tempo down, but the danceablility scale remains right up there. After the third track, things slow down a little bit, until we get to "Radiosong", which has some addictive synth lines. Then there's track number eight, "Bad Boy", which is much like the early nineties' hit "All Night Long" by Cathy Dennis.
It's great listening to this album in fact and it must be said that the up-tempo tracks are what Alice In Videoland do best for singer Toril Lindqvist seems to fall short in the vocal department when it comes to the slower songs. She however more than makes up for it with her attitude and personality, so no one will be complaining really.
Especially for fans of the eighties and modern lovers of synthpop, Alice In Videoland's Outrageous will be a treat. This is the best of the eighties with an updated touch. This is music with plenty of attitude and style. In fact, if Madonna ever needed help in deciding which direction she should be moving to next, she should probably take a listen to this.
Well, I certainly hope Alice gets stuck in Videoland longer than she was in Wonderland because frankly speaking, she seems to be doing pretty damn alright here.
