Space is the F.A.C.E!!!

About Me

Earthlings report the following about Koko Dozo:"You can dig this music without drugs or dancing...One of the strengths of Illegal Space Aliens, and my regular readers please forgive me, is that there are nine choice cuts on this record. No fluff, just a statement. This should be the new trend. This should also be an example of how to make dance music that is intelligent and cool, not dumbed down to the level of morons in too-tight $90 designer jeans." -Mark Kirby Music Dish"Every New York Sound Imaginable is crammed into Illegal Space Aliens's Nine songs from the city's camera clicks and metallic clanks to the club's salsa, house, r+b, techno, funk and hip hop. That might seem like a dangerously long list, but the band's got the musical experience to highlight how closely related they are. And if you need any additional incentive to keep coming back to Illegal Space Aliens, look no further than the vocals..."-GBH.TV"It's no secret (as I have no shame in mentioning it in almost every post I do) that I will back an act/song/style of music no matter who the artist or what the genre, so long as it gets my booty on the floor. Within a mere :05 seconds of throwing on Face on the Dancefloor, I knew my appreciation for Koko Dozo was firmly cemented. With a hearty house beat, the track begins quite oddly enough, but stick with it, as it explodes with Douglas' vocals shortly thereafter. "You know you got that face... put your face on the dance floor...Don't mind if I do!"-SHEENABEASTON BLOGSPOT"Canciones como Shine suenan a chica de Ipanema pasada por un filtro Kraftwerk con un toque Brian Eno. Y otras, como Boomchi, entre su ritmo demoledor y su letra desopilante, son con las que te gustaría sorprender a tus amigos en una fiesta." Rubén A. Arribas- TEINA
