Summary: Hommage done right
Comment: I bought this CD pretty much like I buy every CD I get: I listen briefly to the first three tracks and if I like it I take it with me.
Once I got home I put In Ghost Colours in my player and gave it a listen while I was cooking.
You know a CD is good when you stop what you're doing to really pay attention to the awesomeness that's coming out of the speakers. I listened to it a few more times and there's only one thing I must say: Listen to it. It's like finding a 20$ in your coat you had forgotten about or finding you still know how to skate. It sounds familiar yet brand new.
It totally made my day, so give it a listen too. Chances are you'll love it.

Summary: Must-have for fans of 80s synth-pop
Comment: I am too young to have lived during the golden age of 80s pop, but I still adore the brilliant music that came out during the era. These guys are unabashed in their love of this music. Unlike other bands like Chromeo, who sort of make fun of the music as they play, Cut Copy is trying to sound like exactly like a vintage album that came out in 1987 or some other glorious year. Their singer sounds like Billy Idol, and the electro elements bring Daft Punk's style to mind. If you don't like the 80s, run away, but I highly recommend it to you poor souls nonetheless.

Summary: Cut
Comment: I think this a good album. Most of the lyrics are good. The sound of the music is very good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Find
Comment: Well, I like New Order but that does not mean that these guys are copy cats, no perhaps one might say influenced and I really love the music. After listening to this, I bought their earlier work as well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Album!
Comment: This is a band I never heard before but it is a great band to listen to.

Editorial Reviews:

Far more fun than the eighties actually were at the time, the second album from Melbourne's Cut Copy, In Ghost Colours, is one of the slickest and most varied reinterpretations of the era to appear in the last five years. Selective nostalgia means that every sound from the past is open to reappraisal and Cut Copy have moved on from the sometimes slavish devotion to New Order that dominated their first album, 2004's enjoyably familiar Bright Like Neon Love. By comparison In Ghost Colours is nearer to the dense pop of Electronic, Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner's often overlooked collaboration, especially the brash, acoustic guitar driven opener "Feel The Love" and the brash "Lights and Music". But on tunes like the lush "Hearts On Fire" and the more abrasive "So Haunted", Dan Whitford and crew also nod to the experimental pop of the Cure and Depeche Mode and the now familiar sonic attack that My Bloody Valentine originated (and Snow Patrol eventually turned into pop). Less obviously, late period ELO, increasingly adored by studio heads, prove to be an influence. The producer here is none other than DFA's Tim Goldsworthy, and though Cut Copy are far from the bittersweet hedonism of his other recent clients Hercules And Love Affair, In Ghost Colours works both as contemporary dance-rock and, edited without gaps, as a complete album.--Steve Jelbert
