Hercules & Love Affair

The biggest album of the year is here. Are the next days of disco really here? Those expecting ten tracks of 'Classique 2' or 'Roar' will be disappointed, instead what we get are beautifully realised disco and house cuts mostly adorned with vocals. That's not to say that that NY meets Chi-Town house sound is totally absent, 'You Belong' being a great example but perhaps the fact that this album works as well in a home listening environment as it does on a sweaty dancefloor or smoky after party that sets it aside from many other long players. Add to this bonafide gems such as 'Blind' and 'Athene' and it's clear we have something very special indeed.
