Synopsis

Album Description

Real Life is a band that has strong roots in the pop music market, dating back into the 80's with huge hits like "Send Me An Angel", but carrying forward into the modern synthpop scene. The new album "Imperfection" is loaded with potential hits, and one of those stand-out songs is "Oblivion". This CD single presents several versions of the song which range in mood from edgy, to trancey, to old-school synthpop. Plus, there is a great club mix of the song "Imperfection" and an all new re-recorded version of the Real Life classic, "God Tonight" (a different version than is found on the "Imperfection" bonus disc). All in all, the single shows that Real Life still appeals to dance clubs everywhere.

CD Reviews

Best Single Since "God Tonight"

Paul A. Fucito | Washington, DC | 04/21/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Oblivion" is an amazing single that deserves HEAVY HEAVY club and radio rotation. In fact, "Oblivion" gets my vote for the next James Bond theme. The lyrics and music are perfectly suited to 007 (just listen for the John Barry-esque break at 1:27 if you don't believe me). This track combines the best elements of Real Life, old and new. David's vocals are crisp and effortless, surrounded by lush electronics, and a haunting synth lead that will entrance you. Great remixes plus a new take on "God Tonight" make this a must have CD5. The title track will appeal to both the fans of "Heartland" as well as those listening to newer acts like Dirty Vegas. Pop this into the CD player of a nice convertible on a warm night in Miami and hit cruise control. Eat your heart out Pet Shop Boys fans, David and George have taken over."
