Shit I dont feel cool enough to listen to this, Its well street! Like Sesame Street!! As if I'm not cool enough to listen to this!! What was I thinking!!?? This collection of sweet cuts is taken from the "One Armed Bandit" album released earlier this year. Comprised of upbeat electro with a slickness that cant be measured by one man alone. All the tracks are thumping squelchy bangers that are endlessly dancable and totally catchy. You could play this in a club and in minutes you would have a dance floor full of revellers mincing about to it, saying stuff like "Who's this it, sounds great?" Then a nerdy record collecter would tell the revellers who it was, then realise he was in a social situation and start to cry. The sleeve's pretty cool as well, I do like hand drawn covers!! This is well worth a listen and for your hard earned cash you get some rad songs on a chunky piece of vinyl! So what more do you want??
