Dirty Vegas, the British pop group that revolutionised electronic music are back with their third album "Electric Love". Paul Harris, Steve Smith and Ben Harris are three lads from Kent and the South London suburbs with very different musical backgrounds, united by a shared passion for house music and for that brief, heady time after the acid house explosion when all the old barriers came down and musically, almost anything seemed possible. But two Grammy awards and top of the Billboard charts was a surprise they never had imagined,

Fast forward to "Electric Love": There are straightforward club tracks on the eponymous album, sonic sculptures you long to hear thumping out over a serious sound system. But there are also strong, well-crafted songs and a genre-bending list of influences ranging from Pink Floyd and Santana to Kraftwerk and Turin Brakes. ‘One of us will pull out an old album from like 10 years ago, and one of the others will go, "I’ve got that! I love it!"’ says Paul. ‘We tried to bring all those influences into it. That’s why we’ve hopefully got something a little bit different. It’s not your usual dance record.’ (excerpts from NY Daily News)
