Black Light

混搭音乐风，永远在Groove Armada身上取之不尽，用之不竭！很难给他们一个明确定位，他们也不爱标籤加身，永远猜不著下一步是如何进行，然而每一次的出击都足以让所有乐迷惊艳！受到70-80年代David Bowie、New Order等艺人/团体之前卫艺术、太空奇幻摇滚、新浪潮电气风格影响的Tom Findlay与Andy Cato组成Groove Armada，1998年首张处女秀《Northern Star》，受到Muzik杂志推崇为“最佳新进艺人专辑”，包容Trip-Hop风格令人心醉神迷。隔年再接再厉端出《Vertigo》，不仅获得AMG和Q的4星近满分评价，更入围全英音乐奖“最佳新进艺人”，自此Groove Armada在舞曲界即闯出响亮名声。

Groove Armada转换新东家Cooking Vinyl旗下问市《Black Light》，登上美国热门舞曲电子榜Top10！就是要来些不一样的Groove Armada，开场的〈Look Me In The Eye Sister〉，反以Band Sound方式处裡，到了中段后，拉到80年代Synth-Pop场景，极酷个性的女声Jess Larrabee，更是有加分效果；曾拿下澳洲5项音乐大奖加冕的才子Nick Littlemore，协助性感氛围的〈Fall Silent〉、宣洩Electro-Pop/House舞韵的〈Not Forgotten〉，提供迥然不同的聆赏空间；影响英国流行乐最重要的华丽摇滚团队 Roxy Music灵魂人物Bryan Ferry，用那漫不经心的慵懒嗓音主镇〈Shameless〉，细腻雕琢出精緻动人小品；全英音乐奖“最佳突破艺人”和“最佳英国单曲”得主Will Young，在〈History〉飘移于一股迷离电气交错的高感度音阶中，呈现异于以往的亮眼表现。网路权威传媒Slant Magazine给予四颗星高评价！
