Synopsis

Album Description

ANALOGUE PARTY MUSIC begins here! U.S. VERSION INCLUDES TWO EXCLUSIVE TRACKS! ATTACK DECAY SUSTAIN RELEASE is the debut album from SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO. The electronic duo is comprised of James Ford and Jas Shaw formally of experimental indie band Simian. The two took to playing DJ sets after Simian gigs and thus the "mobile disco" took on a life all its own. Coming into the spotlight with the ubiquitous dance-floor remix of Justice vs Simian's "We Are Your Friends" SMD found themselves embraced by dance music fans who were looking for more. When crafting original compositions in earnest, James and Jas purposefully chose to exclusively use analog equipment giving their arrangements a distinct, human quality. Those who lent their voice to SMD include Go! Team frontwoman, Ninja and one time Simian band-mate, Simon Lord. Simian Mobile Disco have an instinctive knowledge for what will work on any dance-floor and now they've used that instinct to create the most invigorating dance album of 2007. The Simian Mobile Disco is coming to your town: do not even attempt to sleep.

CD Reviews

Nothing more than a fantastic dance album.

Paul Carlisle | Palo Alto, CA. | 12/30/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'll admit, Simian Mobile Disco's "Attack Decay Sustain Release" is by no means an album that has hidden elements about it that you will discover through many listens. All this album does is provide 10 (12 with the two bonus tracks) compulsively danceable cuts that will have you on your feet for over 40 minutes straight.

Simian Mobile Disco consists of two former rockers that decided to get into the Acid House genre, which has been around for quite a while now. Simian definitely follows the belief that newer gear does not necessarily mean better. Along with Daft Punk and Justice, these two producers use analog gear that holds onto the human mistakes that old electronic gear has, and the lo-fi synths definitely gives this album that old school feel. Highlights include their biggest single "It's The Beat" featuring vocals from the lead singer of the Go! Team, "Sleep Deprivation", "Love", "I Believe", and the second bonus track "System". From start to finish, this album will keep you up without pause. SMD by no means break any ground with this release, but they create an irresistible "good-times" album that will have you remembering why music makes us dance. Highly recommended!"

Half as good as it could have been

Media Man | Minneapolis, MN USA | 09/22/2009

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This album is a mixed bag. Half of it is quite good while the other half is pretty awful. I applaud SMD for trying the electro/acid house sound. As this album displays they're successful about 50% of the time. The tracks which stayed on my iPod are rated below while the rest were pulled off after one listen. Hustler, Tits & Acid and It's The Beat (even though it sounds cheesy like Technotronics "Pump Up The Jam" it's horribly catchy) were the stand out tracks for me. Below are my ratings;

1. Sleep Deprivation 7/10

2. I Got This Down 8/10

3. It's The Beat 7/10

4. Hustler 10/10

5. Tits & Acid 10/10

6. I Believe 2/10

7. Hotdog 1/10 absolutely the worst track on the album.

8. Wooden 7/10

9. Love 2/10

10. Scott 2/10

11. Clock 2/10

12. System 2/10

Overall the album is worth a listen and a few of tracks might stick with you like they did with me. There's nothing ground breaking here but clearly SMD has talent, even if it's hit and miss."

About half great

Lethe Gray | San Diego, CA | 05/04/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"While I was really impressed with about half the tunes on this album, the other half, mainly vocals, were not my type of music. On the whole, it's all very good, well-constructed music. I just wish all of it had been instrumental, instead of being half vocals."
