Gold selling in Belgium – 30,000 sales of the album since release, outselling the release of Soulwax’s huge ‘NY Excuse’. ‘Outsides’ is an emotional album and at the same time a dance occasion, where rock guitars engage in a dance of copulation with exotic and global sounds. Forthcoming limited edition remix packages of tracks taken from Arsenal’s ‘Outsides’ album include remixes from The Idjut Boys, Midnight Mike, Freeform Five, Bakazou and Andre Kraml. These limited edition collectable 12”s that feature some Balearic masterpieces will explode the anticipation of the album’s release.
The album’s eclectic sound inspired by cultures around the world is delivered by collaborators with global followings. Aaron Perrino, previously of The Sheila Divine, is more recently noted as part of Dear Leader - responsible for the experimental masterpieces including ‘The Good Times Are Killing Me’ (2003) compared by the press to New Order and Depeche Mode. Gabriel Rios is renowned for the recent collaboration with Michael Franti with the single ‘Whats This?’ featured on the blockbuster movie ‘The Night Before Christmas’ by Tim Burton. The wonderful debut album 'Oyebo Soul' released in 2003 was heavily playlisted on radio around the world. Licensing of tracks from ‘Oyebo Soul’ included ‘A Volta’ used for the final episode of 'Six Feet Under' broadcasted world-wide.
