"I absolutely loved the first Felix album and have been waiting along time for this one. Felix has done away with the dark, tight, disco-house style he is known for and picked on a more flowing, lighter, electric live band sound....which I didn't think worked at first, but once put on my ipod it's love at first sight or should that be sound??Devin Dazzle blows a big ol' breath of fresh air into the electro/house scene at the moment and sets the scene for new albums by artists such as Miss Kittin and Fischerspooner who are also going for that live band sound. Check out tracks Ready 2 Wear (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City sounding), Everyone One Is Someone in LA (Saved By The Bell Vs The Terminator), Let Your Mind Be Your Bed (white hot, white socks, white lipstick), Nina (soothing lullaby)....................BUT DON'T LISTEN TO ME, GO OUT THERE AND SEE FOR YA SELF!!!!"Devin you're such a pervert...........!""

Best Album of 2004

"As a product of the 80's music scene I approached this with some fear. I wasn't ready to see 80's music make its cyclical return. But the album surprised me. Rocket Ride, Hunting Season, Short Skirts, & Watching Cars Go By are all great songs. Those aren't even all that 80's sounding. Ready 2 Wear, on the other hand does sound like something out of about 1983. While there are some weak tracks toward the end including one that rips off Alex Foley's theme this is still my favorite album of 2004."

Funky Retro 80's Synth Pop!

"After the big success albums "Kittenz and Three Glitz" Felix Da Housacat is back with his second studio album "Devin Dazzle & The Neon Fever" It isn't as much electro sounding as his first one, this is more early 80's sytnh sounding, still not bad in anyway. You got to give credit for Da Housecat AKA Felix Stallings Jr as one of the most creative artists around, he's sound is unique with influence from synth-pop, electro, funk and pop and this album has a very warm happy retro sound you don't find very often today, this could have been released in 1984 or something. There are many guest artists here, like the female band "Neon Fever" hence the name of the album.

The songs like i said are synth-pop influented, 80's sound. The highlight are "Ready 2 wear" sang by a man, it's a typical 80's song that sowehow feels fammiliar. "Romantique" has some great electro beats and a female voice that sings with a french accent. The songs with Neon Fever sound a bit simular, but okey. "Devin Dazzle" is catchy electro sounding with a happy sound. "Neon Human" has a very good melody, and strange vocals which are hard to understand. Overall a good album, with a unique sound.
