专辑简介

London-based band co-founded by British-born guitarist Derwood Andrews and American vocalist Elizabeth Westwood was the first entry from Frank Dileo's new Savage label in 1991. Produced by EMF's Ralph Jezzard, mixed by John Luongo and Gary Hellman at Electric Lady Studio's in New York City, the bands third album is very much tuned into the cutting-edge British guitar rock, augmented with dancefloor grooves popularized by the likes of Jesus Jones and EMF. As Derwood put it,"Our music is made for cruising around in large automobiles and having a good time, this sh*t grooves like natural law". The track 'So Long Cowboy' appeared in the classic movie 'Point Break' and on the soundtrack. The band moved to Arizona in support of 'Movers & Shakers' and morphed into the eclectic desert drum & bass recording group Moondogg, who have released three albums to date. Westworld first made their mark on the UK pop scene with four consecutive high-charting hit singles, including 'Sonic Boom Boy' and 'Where The Action Is'. The band formed in 1986 when Elizabeth and Derwood first met and discovered a similar disdain for tired pop conventions, they recorded and released their debut album 'Rockulator' (US version) 'Where The Action Is' (UK version) for RCA in 1987. Linked with bands like Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Big Audio Dynamite and Transvision Vamp, they toured in Europe throughout the late eighties. Going back into the rock'n'roll files of history- Derwood began his career with English punk band Generation X, playing the greatest punk rock guitar of all time. With Billy Idol at the helm, Generation X has left its mark on music in general with bands like 'Green Day', 'Black Flag' and many more respecting their influence. After three years and three albums Derwood left Generation X while only twenty years of age, and formed the now hailed 'grandfathers of EMO', the band Empire. So when listening to 'Movers & Shakers Deluxe' tune into the historical significance, as well as the great songs, great playing, great singing and attitude of the early '90's.
