Here's my biased opinion: This was the best pop album of last year. 3

A quick yes ;) Even though it's that despised trip hop with vocals, for me it just works very nicely. Muted almost-jungle rhythms and nice use of samples (quite a bit of James Bond type music) and good pop tunes. The vocals are completely inoffensive, reminds me most of Saint Etienne, although probably not as good as that group's So Tough album. Has a really lovely instrumental last track, with Satie-like piano sounds and orchestral samples, and a changing odd time signature (don't remember off-hand whether it's mostly 5/4 or 7/8...) And what's more, it's the CD the sound guy was playing before the Mu-ziq gig at the Embassy Rooms when I was in London ;) [Er... so it must be good? Well...]

To all who replied to me about MONO, thank you - I appreciate your comments and went to listen to some of it in-store yesterday. Reached a quick "no" decision: it's sort of Morcheeba-y, fluffy but does not stroke any emotions with me. {Peter: you were right...} Thanks! I *
