It is upbeat and dancey or downbeat and moody?

[Kris]

It's not really that upbeat at all bar one or two. It's very er, Soulful, a la "Work" from Deadringer.

The 4th track (Good Times Roll?) on 'Deadringer' would be one of my Desert Island Discs and I look forward to talking about it with Sue Lawley on Radio 4 when I'm famous.

[Kris]

So far there's no track on the new one to match Good Times Roll, or Ghostwriter, but like you say, there are not many tunes in the world that do....

Well I've now listened to it through twice and....... I'm afraid i have to take back what i said.

My first impressions were very good but I'm afraid I don't like this as much as Deadringer. It's all a bit mid-tempo and changes very little throughout the record. It's possibly more coherent than Deadringer but it's certainly more dull.

I don't like the sound of it not being very upbeat. Its summer now and time to break out the rompy stompy party anthems. Have you heard the Cee-Lo album yet? Its great and I'm still listening to it a month after buying it.

[Kris]

I have never heard of Cee Lo

I shall get right on what with surfing for info and downloads and what not. Thanks Sir

"Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine" is the name of the album and its Outkast type hip hop pop. Its good music to get a sun tan to.
