CD Review: Grammatics - Double Negative
On the first listen, Grammatics' new single 'Double Negative' is nothing special. But, stick with it and, after a few repeat listens, you'll fall head over heels for its unique blend of funky, boyband-esque rhythms; twitchy, pop-infused vocals; slipping disc sound effects and stabbing cello.

I'm intrigued. Track three on this CD is called 'Reykjavik 101', which is a sort of name check of one of my favourite films ever.

CD Review: The Jolly Boys - Rehab
Jamaican mento band The Jolly Boys give Amy Winehouse's hit a reggae makeover for this single. It may sound like a musical nightmare but, a few seconds in, and you'll wonder why no-one's given 'Rehab' the reggae treatment before.

CD Review: New Order - Krafty
It's a tricky one, the remix CD. It can prove to be a bit of a pain in the rear sometimes, as your fans want the one they heard on the radio, not the 'DJ Killbot 12" extended techno-dub mix', but as evidenced here, sometimes it can prove to be a fruitful exercise.

CD Review: The Sweet Chap - Superman 3 / Girl With A Curl
From a label who will only release things as MP3 downloads, which in my opinion, is a brilliant idea, The Sweet chap swings and saunters over to my place, bottle of vino in hand, sleazy look on face.

Pop, soul, jazz, funk. Chichino are inspired by all areas of music, and it's paying off.

CD Review: Pete McGann - The Illusionist And Other Stories
