Back to the Middle by The New Deal (1999)




So, today I'm' dipping my toe into the subgenre of "Livetronica" that came about in the late 1990's as a more respectable version of electronica in which the musicians actually play traditional instruments. It was around this time that The New Deal formed as a three-piece (drums, bass, and keyboards). Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I enjoy this sound a bit more knowing that they were actually recording the music live.

The band is still around today and touring! Check out their website for dates if the music intrigues you.

Here they are from their first album, THIS IS LIVE.
