Amazon.com The jet on the cover of Gerry Arling and Richard Cameron's first domestic release is no accident: they're internationalists all the way, importing whatever kinds of pop fit into their ideal of the perfect plastic dance. All In is packed full of slogans, prefabrications, and found fragments of kitsch (like the two Asian girls who pop up every few tracks to cheer, "We love dancing--yaaay!") and is as manipulative, ingeniously simple, and adorable as the Teletubbies, but with a lot more double-entendre. Will some double-time breakbeats make a song more likable? How about Hawaiian slide guitar? Easy-listening strings? Eurodisco bass? Cartoon whistling and vibes? Dub effects? Cut-up hard-rock riffs? In they go. It's a soufflé of a record, utterly lightweight and precariously yummy. --Douglas Wolk
BUYER BEWARE! Based on all the positive reviews of this album, I decided to jump in and try it. I was terribly disappointed. This is just a bunch of blips and beeps that sound like they came right out of a Casio keyboard with what sounds like Japanese girls yelling "We love dancing! Yay!" over and over again. The music is totally inane, riddiculous, uninventive, unappealing, non-melodic, and tiresome. It remids me of a soundtrack to a second rate Japanese childrens' video game. Even if you can get into the kitsch appeal of this release more than I could, I highly doubt this is a title that will stand up to repeated listening. I have an extensive music collection of over six-thousand CD's spanning nearly every genre, and this one honestly rates among the worst I have ever purchased. Pass on this one!
