Evanescence come closest to a sense of currency and while San Diego quartet Switchfoot avoid any hands-together triteness, their music suffers from an over polished Creedesque worthiness. The tracks are filled with spiky, AOR riffs and vaguely anthemic choruses but they'll need divine intervention for any success over here. 4/10 ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— by Andy Panos Get your daily Marjorie Orr horoscope sent to your mobile See p108 Charts Demos GameCentral MortgageAd

Rees really did lock himself away in a two-room mountain cottage to record thesj haunting elegies. Yet, while Rees's voice is redolent of Tom McRae, the eclectic instrumentation with kazoos and banjos floating in and out make it the best album Badly Drawn Boy never made. A little gem. 8/10 ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— by John Earls PADDY POWER- FREE £25/e25 BET ON BIG BRO WJNNER! SEE p699 Charts Demos GameCentral MortgageAd

It's impeccably produced with hi-gloss polish from New York house act Metro Area, Jeff Bennnet, Kerri Chandler and exclusive cuts from Tomiie himself. Sadly, the high class sheen only conjures up the dreaded words "coffee" and "table". Hard to fault such a seamless set but it's tricky picking out any highlights either. 6/10 ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— by Andy Panos Bamboozle fan ? Play for cash on your mobile!

'Avin it minimal is the order of the day here with industrial electronica from Solvent, menacing "klank" from Mossa and three DIV cuts. Impenetrable, brutal, with a noise akin to computer meltdown after you've poured cappuccino in the circuit board, this is for hardcore buffs only. 6/10 ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— by Andy Panos GOT A CAMERA PHONE?
