Liverpool’s Hambi and the Dance attempted an interesting combination of synthesized art-rock and traditional rock’n’roll, with mixed results. When ex-Tontrix singer/songwriter Hambi Harambolous draws on influences ranging from Phil Spector and the Searchers to the Roxy/Bowie/Ultravox school, the record can be very impressive (“Living in a Heartache,” “Madelaine”). He is less successful, however, when trying arty synthesized rock that sounds like Ultravox outtakes.
