Originally released in 2005 the record originally only received a limited pressing on vinyl and has been unavailable on LP for several years. With God s MoneyGang Gang Dance created a modern sound which reorientated the palette of electronic music into an organic context; manipulating sound, rhythm and melody in an almost mercurial manner. Painstakingly recorded over the course of 2004 at Junkyard Audio Salvage, the band utilized whatever means were available to them to craft their sound: drums of all shapes, sizes and circuits, various keyboards occasional aluminum chair. Blending their hypnotic rhythms into a highly structured compositional style or soaring in the lofty heights of practiced improvisation, this record follows in the footsteps of the bands previous output, simultaneously marking new ground, and pointing to their future musical directions. During writing and recording God s Money the band were playing to packed houses in NYC, Europe and it with such a heightened level of musicianship they turned even the most casual of spectators into full on believers. God s Money is a pinnacle of Gang Gang Dance s uncompromising sonic pursuit which has spanned the better part of their now near ten year history. Some of this can be gleamed from previous groups the God s Money may be interpreted as the band s high-water mark of sorts it is much more the raising of the tide as they continued to push the boundaries of the palette of sound itself with no sign of waning. Review God's Money is an album of whims and metamorphoses thoroughly enveloping, with a mesmerizing, vertiginous charm. God's Money never suspends movement : It continues to pulse and breathe even in it's quietest moments. And in each piece, there exists an amazing freeform beauty as well as a great sense of rhythm and melody hidden within ostensible chaos.
