Fancy Footwork is pure party rock from the
minds and keyboards of audio "researchers" Dave One and Pee Thug. Vice
Records has been on a tear over the past couple of years, releasing such
monster albums as Bloc Party and the sadly defunct Death From Above 1979.
Add this album to your dance mix and make sure to check out their incredible
stage show the next time their caravan pulls into your town.

In these performances the flutist is the
renowned French player, Patrick Gallois, student of Jean-Pierre Rampal and
former principal flute of the Orchestre National de France. He is a subtle,
technically secure and musical player and he does a superlative job here. He
is joined in the flute and harp concerto by Fabrice Pierre; together they
perform admirably, accompanied by the fine Swedish Chamber Orchestra.

endearing Ms. Spears. While the remainder of the album may be

catchy track. She may be bald and in constant custody battles, but Britney
Spears remains pop‘s most notorious princess!
