is the testimony to their live performance. And the brilliance of their production talents captures much of the essence from their live performance on their new album – as intended." Cyclic Frosts Matthew Levison opined, "This is lowest common denominator music, all boxes ticked... Painful, preset, mundane and monotonous. If this is the only resistance to our system, then it's no wonder Australia is so conservative right now." Carmine Pascuzzi of Mediasearch felt the duo "bring their own unique identity to this eclectic and delicious set of tracks. They work very cohesively and sharply in their electro beats and fuse styles ranging from trance to punk-rock elements. Their power has seen them acclaimed as one of Australia's best live dance acts and this album cements their position in musical originality and creativity." In mid-2005 Gascoigne and Hede collaborated with Cole and her then-domestic partner, Daniel Belle (also from Australian Idol), as a four-piece trip hop group, Spook. McCabe & Downie of The Daily Telegraph detailed how the couple were initially asked "to sing on some tracks" and that "the foursome discovered some major songwriting chemistry." During the collaboration, "Gascoigne... took care of composition and production. Cole delivered lyrics and vocal melodies and Belle discovered a talent for recording intricate harmonies and string arrangements." On the same date in October as Statler & Waldorf's debut album, Spook provided its sole studio album, The Dusk Sessions, which reached No. 24 on the ARIA Dance Albums Chart. Mediasearchs Gabrielle Phillips elaborated on their style, "a mixture of triphop style beats that can be dark, uplifting, simple and yet emotionally sophisticated all at the same time... Most songs have been contributed and added to by each of the artists, to create a mixture of sounds that is both unexpected and extremely enjoyable." After Statler & Waldorf disbanded in 2006, Dennis Gascoigne focussed on his career as a civil engineer; from September 2012 he was the shire engineer in Tenterfield and worked as a cattle farmer nearby. Leo Hede has worked as a DJ and record producer.
