Care to be surprised today? Find a copy of the Red Falcon Projects, the place where synth and dance meet and it doesn’t sound like 1980s West Berlin. Despite all appearances to the contrary, Simply Ravishing is not locked in a time capsule or a smarmy electro-clash of Eurotrash dudes reliving the best of smuggled Cold War appropriation. Though RFP speak as a group reliving some alternative past, Simply Ravishing is the sound of now; of kids no longer afraid of dancing outside of the mosh pit, of a nation in desperate need of uplifting in political turmoil and propaganda, of the sloppy hand-off of responsibilities between the hapless baby boomers and the progeny they over-protected. RFP coddles and pushes away, forcing you to make your own grown up decisions on the dance floor. The album is rhythmic and smooth, but that doesn’t make it docile or unchallenged. It’s likely to fry the neurons of people too deep into synthesized syncopation and mellow out Molly kids too bug-eyed on dubstep and house. It’s the after party to the aftermath. So grow up, be your own person, dance until you can’t anymore, and embrace your path toward adulthood. All can be accomplished by grabbing your own copy of a gold chain and Simply Ravishing.
