Taking two steps back to go one step forward, Hercules & Love Affair blow kisses to the early Chicago trax sound. While many of today's artists pay purposeful homage to that sound, you can tell this is an honest effort. There is more going on here beyond just an echo of yesterday. Beyond the low-down beats, Antony's vocals are spot on. There is a wonderful, yearning and sexy tonality in his voice that is reminiscent of Sylvester, Marc Almond and all those early Chicago vocal tracks that open your heart wide on the dance floor. Don't hold the fact that this is on DFA against them. Future classic.
