Future Fashion

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Gary Flanagan’s debut album on Cohaagen Music is a sincere and authentic ode to the classic analog electro sound of yore, with enough freshness to make it relevant and hip in today’s electronic music scene. From the snarling bass line and LinnDrum attack of "Nightclub" to the bubbly optimism of "We Have the Dance Floor to Ourselves" and the stark dance potential of the French electro-rap "Metro Boulot Dodo," Gary’s album adeptly looks to both the past and the future of electronic music.

Cohaagen Music released Future Fashion on October 22, 2002.Also included are two club-ready remixes by fellow Cohaagen artists Fr/action and Simulator.

1 out of 5 stars Bland Mr Bungle rip-off.......2007-04-30

Cheap imitation. Effects hide the strain on the singer's voice. Reminds me of the time Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling stole Frank Sinatra's voice-box and performed to audiences for vast amounts of cash. "We sing about rapists and clowns! Look!" --Yes, we know....please go away.

5 out of 5 stars Another hidden gem by DFD.......2007-02-28

If this album is the first time you've heard DFD, you probably think the album should be titled Committed to the Nearest Insane Asylum but repeated plays are required for the uninitiated to appreciate the band's brilliance. The band recently disbanded and played their last show in Baltimore. DFD went out on top with their epic album Adultery which will always be in my top 5 albums of all time. Buy this and all other DFD albums as they're getting hard to find. All 12 tracks of CTABF are incredibly produced and I know of no other band in existence today that seamlessly shifts from one genre to another, jazz, metal, hard rock, funk, punk, ska, it's all there. My personal favorite tracks are Love Song for a Witch, Worm in a Dog's Heart, Pogo the Clown and Acid Memoirs. It's fitting that a toilet adorns the front cover of the album and I'm sure there's a hidden message for the music industry. For an insight into why great bands such as DFD disband go to [...] and click on the trailer of the soon-to-be-released documentary of how the music industry really works. DFD was the inspiration for the documentary and the bottom line is that talent is irrelevant it's all about numbers, nothing more and nothing less. Well done lads and thank you for the decade of creative, innovative and original music. You will be missed!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent album from and underated band.......2007-02-22

This album has it all, witches, serial killers, acid flashbacks, and
incredible production values as well. Truly a 5 star disc. Recomended
to all fans of Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, or to anyone who has ever
been drunk at a carnival.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-01-11

This is one of the best bands I've EVER come across- and I've come across a lot of bands... the incredible musicianship combined with powerful and sometimes haunting vocals is a recipe for success. My favorite tracks are Pogo the Clown and The Acid Memoirs, which is not to say that the others aren't any good- far from it... One funny thing I noticed is that earlier reviewers have said that their cover of Grease is before the first track, whereas mine is after the last one...

5 out of 5 stars In my youth a took a trip.......2005-06-25

One of the best CDs ever. With unique sound. Incredible, commpletely worth buying.

5 out of 5 stars Classic.......2007-03-27

Classic Synthpop! I haven't heard songs this catchy for a very long time!
It has a well crafted feel about it with hooks aplenty. This coupled with the first rate production quality gives it a timeless feel.
Excellent!

4 out of 5 stars Awesome sound!!.......2003-10-31

I discover Gary Flanagan on the Electro Nouveau CD with the single Metro Boulot Dodo. For a moment, I thought it was actually a 80s single they put on there as a retro memory. Then I discovered someone was actually making COOL 80s electro new wave sounds again. What a cool song. Right up there with 99 Luftballoons as great new wave songs I love but don't understand the words! Great stuff. Keep it up.

5 out of 5 stars Ready for the 80s!!!.......2002-12-07

Stellar retro synth goodness! Fun, catchy, sincere songs in classic analog style. Best tracks: "Summertime", "Night Club", "We Have the Dancefloor to Ourselves" and the memorable "Metro Boulot Dodo" (even if you don't understand French you'll be humming it for days!).
