Title:
London Boys - The Twelve Commandments Of Dance
Description:
The Twelve Commandments of Dance
1989 studio album by London Boys
The Twelve Commandments of Dance is the debut album by German-based English dance-pop duo London Boys, released in 1989. It reached number 2 in the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for 29 weeks.[2]
Other than the charting singles stated in the track listing, two other singles were released: "I’m Gonna Give My Heart” and "Dance Dance Dance”.
Critical reception
A review published in Music Week presented the album as a "perfect, pimple-free, faceless pop music that attempts to be soulful but lacks any kind of charisma”, reproached the fact that all the tracks "repeat the [same] formula ad nauseum”, and concluded that "the album is a danger to youngsters everywhere”.[3] Johnny Dee of Record Mirror stated that lyrically, the album is "all utter cack”, but considered that the more important thing lies in the fact that every track "has a 132 bpm sequencer chugging away” and "a chorus so catchy” that listeners could not forget it and could perform "stupid dances” on it.[4]
Retrospectively, in a 2015 review, the Pop Rescue website gave the album four stars out of five, presented it as containing "wonderful early commercial dance/europop and light tracks” with elements from both disco and dance music and features recalling Pet Shop Boys, added "it is up-beat throughout and mostly up-lifting and cheerful”, but considered "Wichitah Woman” and "El Matinero” as the weakest tracks.[5]
