Album Notes This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Soulwax: Stephen (vocals); David (guitar, keyboards, loops); Inge (keyboards); Stefaan (bass); Stephane (drums). Additional personnel: John Schmerzel (vocals); Jason Falkner (strings, Chamberlin); Steve Slingeneyer (drums). This release contains an extra song, "My Cruel Joke." CD contains 1 bonus track. Like Oasis, AC/DC, and the Kinks before them, Soulwax revolves around two brothers, guitarist David and singer Stephen DeWaele. Their debut album, MUCH AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE, is a blend of rock stylings, cool dance beats, and traces of electronica. The title track is a perfect example of what the band is about, as it opens with a funky drum machine beat before rocking out with real drums and hard, crunching guitars. Other highlights include "Overweight Karate Kid," "Too Many DJ's," and the sort-of Jeff Buckley tribute called "The Salty Knowledge of Tears." F.Y.I.--the brothers are also a world-famous DJ duo, playing in clubs around the world as the Flying DeWaele brothers.
