The Contino Sessions, the second album from Death in Vegas, arrived in 1999, and it's the sound of an electronic act that had stopped thinking like one. Richard Fearless, who had started the group in 1994 with Steve Hellier under the name Dead Elvis before that name went on their debut album instead, was out front now, steering a record that trades the dance floor for dark, droning menace.
"Aisha" is the one that crept onto the countdowns, all slow-burning dread. The album earned a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 2000, and it kept selling long enough to go gold in Britain by 2013.
