The thing about nearly any genre of music is that there are going to be at least a handful of bands that are worth their weight in gold, even if you don't particularly care for the genre at large. In the world of dance music, much of what you hear is utter dross meant for mass consumption, physical response and absolutely no investigation into something deeper than superficial character. However, every so often a dance oriented outfit appears that actually has merit.
Grace is one such outfit.
This group is made up of noted dance producers Paul Oakenfield and Steve Osborne with vocalist Dominique Atkins. If I Could Fly , their debut. The music revolves quite a bit out of the sultry and sensuous vocals of Atkins. Her voice never overexpresses the mood of the song, which makes for some very appropriate performances. The music itself is a cross between danceable rhythms, tinges of techno and occasional touches of Orbital's style of electronic music.
