Editor's review
Dance music, has, until recently, been rather unkind to live dance bands like Infusion. Before the advent of the laptop set, every dance fan and their mother craved a soul-lifting DJ set or synthetically-produced live P.A. But now (perhaps thanks to people like LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy), bona fide bands like Infusion are getting their props--and rightfully. The Australian-based threesome make house and electro-leaning electronic music that, when performed live, actually sounds like well-produced dance tracks--not an overthought mess.
