Andrew Butler is no slouch when it comes to glamorous, iconoclastic dance music. He's dressed up his classic beats in a neo-classical toga and called the effort Hercules & Love Affair, and enlisted some top-notch contributors to give voice to his disco-tastic creation, namely Antony Hegarty, of Antony and the Johnsons. The two have been friends for years and collaborators on and off since they first met. Their fusion of late 70s disco and modern day electronica is fleshed out by the addition of Kim Ann Foxman and mono-monikered Nomi.
