On their third album, The Signal, the Flemish duo Compact Disk Dummies shifts to a club-oriented sound. To this the twosome, consisting of brothers Lennert and Janus Coorevits, adds exotica, funk and 80s synthpop. While their music has always been danceable, this time it totally swings. The brothers are not even averse to rubbing up against the kitschy from time to time, which is precisely why the
… fun radiates from beginning to end of this album. Love, lust and peacefulness are recurring themes and The Signal thus meanders between rousing and sultry. The Signal is a carefree, sexy and dynamic album on which this duo proves why they are a beloved act in their homeland - as well as beyond. (JvQ)more
