Reviews
Rolling Stone (9/16/99, p.117) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...songs as effervescent as a mouthful of Pop Rocks....They've aged their sweet teen-punk image into ear candy with a pleasingly tart aftertaste." Spin (10/99, p.166) - 6 out of 10 - "...sets traditional teen-beat tirades about living in end-of-the-century oblivion to 15 years of disposable dance music...in an attempt to use the Man's techno tools to sandblast the clogged system..." Entertainment Weekly (8/13/99, p.77) - "...the entire album has the irrepressible bounce of animation at its best." - Rating: A- Alternative Press (9/99, p.91) - 3 out of 5 - "...making their catchy pop sound fit for a proper dance club....Bis are giving us their most diverse and thoughtful recording yet." Magnet (8-9/99, p.70) - "...Bis imbues its catchy pop songs withthe bratty attitude of young 20-somethings who still think they know everything....while [they] may not know everything, they certainly know a lot about making good music." CMJ (7/19/99, p.3) - "...a refined sensibility....[their] energy levels remain in-the-red....SOCIAL DANCING is a mature and marked step forward for Scotland's...most fervent musical export."
Additional information
Bis: John Disco, Manda Rin, Sci-Fi Steven. Additional personnel: Lois Maffeo (vocals); Andy Gill, Rik Flick (guitar, keyboards); Vincent Fleming, Alan Mason (violin); Martin Wiggins (viola); Helen Mosherry (cello); Richie Dempsey (samples). Recorded at Apollo Studios, Glasgow, Scotland. After bis' first album seemed to put a period at the end of their early iteration as a riotous grrrl/boy trio, the band needed to change things up a bit to keep from being stuck in first gear. On 1999's Social Dancing, they tried a whole bunch of different stuff, from more punky rave-ups to slinky trip-hop, and if the end result is a little scattered, it's also an enjoyable mess. When bis fit the pieces together in the right way, they end up with genius pop music like the rollicking "I'm a Slut" or the raging "The Hit Girl." Here they take the simple formula they were working with before and supercharge it, adding new wave synths and hyper-competent guitar work. The bulk of the album follows this basic set-up, with Manda Rin yowling happily and John Disco and Sci-Fi Steven making lots of streamlined racket. When they stretch a little, the results are less reliable. On one end of the spectrum, "Eurodisco" is a glittering shard of Euro-disco that everyone from Cerrone to LCD Soundsystem would be happy to call their own creation, on the other is the Massive Attack-flavored "Detour," a song features some ill-advised rapping and a mood that is just too foreign to bis for them to make work. Fortunately, the scales are tipped decidedly in favor of good and the album works as a transitional move that's not only a solid step forward but also a total blast to listen to. ~ Tim Sendra

    This store is my absolute go-to for buying CDs, especially when buying from Australia. Highly knowledgable seller that is prompt, communicative, friendly and professional. Items are always described elaborately with added reliable written descriptions. The most valuable part of my experience is that this seller posts photos of the actual item, which is rare for a store with an inventory this size. Brilliant value for money, beautifully shipped and packaged. Flawless. Highly recommended. Thanks!!
