Reviews

“pulverizing stylistic boundaries while they seek out clever hooks”

AllMusic, John Bush6

“the duo have conclusively reclaimed their crown as kings of the UK dance scene”

musicOMH, John Murphy7

View (DJ Naoyaman)

Some copies of an album called Push the Button were locked against copying.

Released on 24 January 2005, it went to No. 1 in the UK. It was recorded at Miloco in South London and The Hit Factory in New York, and in January 2006 it won the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album.43

In some regions, the CD came with copy protection.5

There are plenty of guests: Q-Tip, Tim Burgess, Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Anna-Lynne Williams, Anwar Superstar and The Magic Numbers.5

The music threw the doors open and invited people in; the disc was bolted shut. Whenever I think of this album, that tug of war comes to mind first.
