After several singles, this Nottingham band has finally taken the great leap forward with their LP "Fantasy Black Channel": a mash-up of sounds, styles and references that is as difficult to categorise as it is addictive. It contains hints of funk, dance and rock, and a pinch of progressive, which with the invaluable help of Erol Alkan takes us back to the days of Gary Numan, Todd Rundgren, Yello and Frank Zappa, while updating their legacy with the fashions and fads of the twenty-first century. Entertainment and extravaganza guaranteed.
