 Death in Vegas - Scorpio Rising Music Review
Death in Vegas know a good thing when hear it and on their third release, they don’t stray to far from their interesting concoction of gritty rock, techno repetition, and spacy psychedelia, though this time out it’s not quiet as musically dark.

For all it’s cameo power, Scorpio Rising is a bit on the disappointing side, but for fans of this sort of atmospheric distortion and ethereal otherworldliness, it’s definitely Heaven in Las Vegas.

 Thunderball: Scorpio Rising - PopMatters Music Review
Those elements are still present on Scorpio Rising, but Thunderball's emerging identity as something grittier and funkier than the Thieves holds real promise.
The worst moment on Scorpio Rising has to be "Sapphire", a misguided collaboration with vocalist Johnna M., who sounds pretty good as part of the soundscape on "Vai Vai" and "Solar" but is unbearable here, pushed into the foreground singing a cheesy jazz-pop melody over a watered-down drum-and-bass groove.
Still, while not perfect, Scorpio Rising is a very solid piece of funk-infused loungetronica, and probably the best album to come out of the Eighteenth Street Lounge label since Thievery Corporation's own The Mirror Conspiracy.
