In their annual 'Rock & Roll Yearbook' issue, Rolling Stone magazine have just named Infusion's 'Six Feet Above Yesterday' as one of their Best 50 Albums Of The Year. The Australian live act, whose 2005 tour diary is no doubt filling up fast, have gone from strength to strength in the past 2 years. Rolling Stone had this to say about their second long player. "The second album from the ambitious Wollongong electronica trio cements their place as the international flag bearers' of Australian dance music. From playing to 30,000 people in Argentina to packing out nightclubs across the world, few artists took local electronica into as many corners of the world as Infusion this year. At its best, ‘Six Feet Above Yesterday’ is a rocking and inspired marriage of dark bleeps and foot-stomping dance that stands as a fine testament to the most successful local underground dance act of 2004." Infusion are one of only 10 Australian or New Zealand artists to be named in the list of 50, and alongside the Scissor Sisters, only one of two electronic albums. Other albums named belong to bands such as Eminem, Interpol, Brian Wilson, The Streets and Gwen Stefani. 34 Comments
