Synopsis

Album Description
Best we can do is listen while this wildly energetic Belgian quintet shares its wealth of slinking sinister raw dance grooves smashed against the frantic punk of At the Drive-In and articulated with the psychedelic damage of Captain Beefheart. It's a sound coming from far beyond scene or genre that breaches boundaries with its pure cathartic energy and eccentric compositions

"I saw these boys from Belgium open for the Distillers and Queens of the Stone Age. While they didn't upstage the Queens (who could?) they wiped the floor with the Distillers. This is music that you really can't compare to anything else. The only other band I can think of with a sound like Millionaire is maybe Liars, in that they both use jangly guitars, danceable beats and fuzzed out electronics. The comparison ends there though because Millionaire always uses its eccentricity to complement the tunes, not weirdness for the sake of weirdness. On this record you will find a wicked mix of agression, groove and soul. This band is beyond unique, they're original. Good luck to them, I hope they catch on here in the states. In my opinion, Body Experience Revue could easily become a hit here. A song like that would blow Seven Nation Army and every Iggy Pop ripoff out of the water. Buy this record, if you must, kill for it."
If u dig QOTSA, get this one!

"By far my favourite band from Belgium (and there's quite a lot that are popular all over Europe, but haven't broken through in the States). Extremely energetic at times, and ultimately soulful at others. Original with a dotted O. Only comparison I can think of would be dEUS, a band Tim Vanhamel (Millionaire front-man) is all too familiar with. He also was a major component of the Evil Superstars.Champagne for everyone (and I mean *everyone*) !!"
