Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom's relationship began on a dancefloor, so it's only fitting that the eccentric duo became one of the DFA label's least dance-oriented acts. More inspired by '70s electronic artists from Germany -- such as Tangerine Dream, Harmonia, and Ash Ra Tempel's Manuel Göttsching -- than British post-punk and early house (like many of their labelmates), the New York-based duo debuted with a 12" single in early 2004. A beat-driven remix from DFA's James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy appeared on the B-side. Since it gained more attention than the beat-less A-side, some listeners were surprised to discover that The Days of Mars, the duo's first album, was entirely beat-less, containing four lengthy tracks that were composed on Russom's bank of self-made analog synthesizers. Gonzalez and Russom have ... recorded with Murphy, Goldsworthy, and Christian Holstad as Black Leotard Front (2004's Casual Friday single, also released on DFA). ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Performance art duo Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom created some people's fave track of 2004 with their side project Black Leotard Front. A 15-minute odyssey of space funk, "Casual Friday" reconfigured the nightclub glitterball as a wondrous polyhedron-faceted planet. It ... pointed to an underacknowledged interzone connecting prog and disco, based in the genres' shared penchant for long instrumentals, flashy musicianship, and post-hippie utopianism. On their debut album, DG & GR continue their kosmisch quest to locate the missing link between Manuel G E2-E4 and Sueño Latino's "Sueño Latino." But they've dropped the beat, leaving just the pulse. The sequenced flutter of "Rise" creates a paradoxical feeling of serene tension, "Relevee" braids arpeggiated synth lines into a gently writhing spire of sound, "13 Moons" wafts veil after veil of shimmering translucence, and the closing "Black Spring" is like tantric sex, minus the sex.

Regina hammered in two fierce rights into Delia's ribs but Gonzalez landed a couple of power punches to the head and suddenly Halmich was in trouble. She was forced to hang on. Then the challenger didn't manage to follow up as the champion backpedalled a bit desperately.
