Part dance record and part soundtrack to a headphone voyager s next great trip, Black Tie Dynasty provides aural escapism that takes us back to the halcyon days of Robert Smith and Ian Curtis. Armed with the sounds of yesterday, with eyes fixed firmly upon tomorrow.
"your first time with BTD Movements, you'll notice allusions to Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Soft Cell, U2, etc. your second time with BTD Movements, these influences begin to recede. your third time with BTD Movements, you realize it is a unique and amazing piece of work, and that the only relation it has to the aforementioned greats is that it can stand up among them."
Some good songs in here

"If you like The Maryonettes you'll like this - and vice versa. Slightly more "Pop" than my usual tastes, but only leaning in that direction, these songs have really grown on me.
This is better than 99% of the contemporary stuff out there right now. Well worth a listen!"
No rip-offs here.

"This is the band I've been waiting for. Black Tie Dynasty bring a new twist on indie rock with their latest effort. I've heard way too many Coldplay and U2 rip-offs in the last few years, but BTD bring their own sound into a seemingly overcrowded genre. I think this band has some staying power."
Great Band

"Excellent album. I consider their sound a mixture of Coldplay and Depeche Mode. I also got a chance to see them in concert and they put on a great show. Check out their myspace page to sample their music."
