Product description AGNELLI & NELSON Hudson Street (2000 UK 10-track CD debut album from the anthemic Irish dance duo. With the top singles Everyday Embrace and Husdson Street. Complete with picture sleeve booklet XTRAV14CD) .co.uk What is it about Celts and windswept arms-aloft epics? You can trace it right back to U2 and Simple Minds' stadium-rawk sound in the 1980s, and now Irish duo Agnelli & Nelson have transposed the sound of the overblown, the grandiose, the ludicrously self-indulgent to the dance floors of the Naughties. So anthemic in their intentions are "Obea", "Everyday" and "Vegas", they make Jim Steinman productions look like the model of subtlety. But just as you've got them pegged as BT-acolytes, they go all eclectic, albeit with the same widescreen pretensions: "Santiago" and "Sidewalk Driller" mix drum and bass with dirty breakbeats, while "Singing For The Future" is Clannad for clubheadz. "Slide" even features a rather lame spoken-word rap that's faithful to Faithless' sound. Containing all the air-brushed high-gloss thrill of an Athena poster, Hudson Street glitters with garish neon and empty promises. --Calvin Bush
