death in vegas - 'transmission'

The black and white retro cover to the album and the title 'Transmission' both reference Joy Division (if somewhat obliquely) and it doesn't end there. The music itself has a certain intense, impersonal quality to it that I also feel when listening to Joy Division. It's a welcome return for the London duo with a very bass heavy collection of tunes. This particular track is about the dance-friendly but the whole album works on so many levels that it's impossible to try to pigeon-hole it with a single genre description.
