...according to our Dave on 26 November 2009.

The Dalot 'Flight Sessions EP' CD is really good. It's a sprawling electro opus that could make you dance around like someone with St.Vitus, or make you sit and listen in awe. Antoni Mallovi does a sterling job. He takes composition/production credits, and I dare say he cites Goblin as an influence. This sweet new fucking cut lasts about an hour but believe me ,it feels like 59 minutes. Some of the songs remind me of cruising round Tokyo on a high powered motorbike, with loads of cheap narcotics rushing through my veins, then maybe going to a club and hanging round with loads of Yakuza electro fans. It also made me think of Chow Yun Fat diving through the air brandishing twin Glocks ,shooting said Yakuza to pieces. So if you like the idea of killing Yakuza while wearing really bad 80s suits, I reckon this albums for you, engaging, catchy and memorable... of course some fashionable urchin rock fucks are probably releasing a record so you could buy that....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
