Remember how famous that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack was a few years ago? I'm not a video game guy, but I used to play that one just to drive around and listen to the radio. Flipping between stations you could catch blips of Cutting Crew, Run DMC, Rick James, Hall & Oates, Motley Crue and A Flock Of Seagulls, all while enjoying a flamingo pink Miami sunset.
Well I got no time for video games anymore -- too busy fanning Tamar and feeding her peeled grapes -- but I just found out I can have pretty much the exact same experience, without all the hand-eye coordination, if I just throw on And Then Boom by Iglu & Hartly.
In fact, not only do these smart-assed Fracht-Rockers (that's frat + yacht) out of Los Angeles capture every bit of that Vice City sweetness, but they also cram all of it into every single song. You know that brilliant Frito~Lay product called Munchies that combines Cheetos, Doritos, Pretzels and Sun Chips? Iglu & Hartly are the musical equivalent of the cheese fix waiting in every bite of that genius snack. They've got new-wave disco synths, monster ballad bridges, rap breaks, and soul jazz smoothness bubbling up in every last jam.
Of course I realize that I've made an outrageous claim and will have to back it up. So, why don't you go ahead and stream all of And Then Boom here, download "Day Glo" and "Jump Out Of Your Car" below and see for yourself?
