''Action Hero'' is the second full-length album from Melbourne's Little Nobody. This album was released on IF? Records in July, 2000 in Australia. Artwork The photography and artwork were designed by R. Klemczak. Reception "It's full of fascinating manic spirit, a refusal to simply settle down and be normal, which is, of course, brilliant. The jacking, snarly house tracks are wild. 'Apocoloppola', a lysergic, obsessive collage of film dialogue and weirdness, is stunning. And the hip hop tracks are unforgettable." Chris Johnston in The Age newspaper in 2001, writing about ''Action Hero''. "Sample-heavy Australian record that if we were being terribly lazy we might describe as 'a bit like a more left field Avalanches, only better'. Generally quite old skool industrial in sound, this periodically throws some incongruous acid/filter house party shapes, which is a bit like Gordon Brown breaking off from talking about monetary policy to dance the can-can. And we all know how gre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

And amongst the many reinterpretations of the song are 8-Bit's gloriously retro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
