Evolution: The Hits

Evolution is a limited edition, two-disc set strictly for Dead or Alive enthusiasts. It's stylished jam-packed for those who've writhed along to the band's campy dance-pop classics while witnessing Pete Burns' many obsessive facial transformations. Global chart hits such as "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and "Brand New Lover" are here, as well as underground club favorites like "Something in My House," "Hooked on Love," and "Isn't It a Pity." Clearly, Burns was destined to be a part of the dance community because his songs reflect a dark, yet fashionably slick desire that's perfectly tailored for the club scene. While he's not wildly inventive in song structure, he does get a perfect hook, and Evolution is the look back -- and a march forward in the life of Dead or Alive.
