The first album reviews arrive

"I love this album! There was never any time during play that I wanted to skip any of it. Its well thought out, executed, and does what it does…paying homage to the past noted genres of yesteryear. This is one band that people should look out for in the near future because I can’t say anything but great things about Vinyl Life!" - Nerdy Frames

"Vinyl Life pull off the combination of analogue keytones and party rap with total precision, nailing a stunning combination of every euro electronic artist from the past twenty or so years, and merging it with a 'need to party lyrisism' not seen since the like of Soulsonic Force." -Attack Attack Attack

“Amid the sonic reference to Kraftwerk and the Zulu Nation and the war against Autotune, an eighties sensibility emerges in more than the music—these guys walk the talk!” - WKNC

“Overall Vinyl Life is well produced and encompasses genre and style-shifts with confidence usually expected of more experienced groups. A testament to what will come from their future releases.” - Blouse

“Vinyl Life offer a trip back to the golden age of dance music and hip hop, give it a listen and you might learn something too as Vinyl Life deftly acknowledge the past while bringing it into the future.” - Ventvox

“The album has a crispness and clarity that is rarely found in digitally composed works and, even better, it features some amazing classic synth sounds!” - Bangers and Thrash

"If you like it old skool, you will have made love the analog flavor of Vinyl Life." - about.com

“Backed up by a soundtrack that spans over two decades of clubbing, all wrapped up in a tasty present day pastiche, New York City’s Vinyl Life at first sound a bit like classic Jungle Brothers, only with haircuts and designer jeans, before delving deeper into the club, ending up in the ladies toilets doing lines off somebody's breast, losing any associations with the Brother's afrocentric meanderings on the dancefloor of the club's sweaty backroom where all the really cool kids hang out.” - Chrome Kids

“Within the first 5 minutes of listening to the album I couldn't help but think that I was listening to a hip-hop version of Kraftwerk.” - Boom Boom Chik

“This is a cracking little release where oldschool rap and analogue rave meet 2009.” The Hats and Friends

Butcha, Phaze Future & Richie Roxx, les 3 old-school vibes makerz de Vinyl Life (NYC) ont construit leur univers musical à travers leur amour inconditionnel pour le hip-hop, les instruments et les machines. - OK in Art
