Groove Armada Soundboy Rock CD

Issued during 2007 in the U.K. and the following year in the U.S., SOUNDBOY ROCK finds the British techno duo Groove Armada (Andy Cato and Tom Findlay) doling out more dance-floor-ready tunes. While club-oriented anthems are the order of the day--most notably the funky, M.I.A.-like "Get Down" and "The Things That We Could Share," a propulsive track with Simian Mobile Disco associate Simon Lord--ROCK also presents some more serene moments (see the dreamy "What's Your Version?"), making for a relatively dynamic set.

Limited edition version of their 2007 album includes two bonus tracks, 'Feel the Same' (Feat. Angie Stone) and 'Hands Up' (Feat. Mistah Fab). `Soundboy Rock' is the hotly anticipated new album from Groove Armada, one of the most consistently successful dance acts of recent years. In their ten year career so far the band have sold over 2 million albums worldwide but are also internationally acclaimed DJs (they have a regular residency at Space in Ibiza) and increasingly well known through their hugely successful Lovebox Weekender Festival (40k tickets sold last year) which they founded and curate. In typical Groove Armada eclectic style, the album features a whole range of collaborators including Candi Staton, Angie Stone, Simian Mobile Disco and Mutya from Sugababes on the gorgeous `Song 4 Mutya' single (`a sure fire summer anthem' according to Metro) and is already being hailed by many as the bands best album to date 17 tracks in all.
