Yet Number1 amount1 tg more than a nostalgia trip for a generation of thirty-somethings raised on a diet of creaky synths and heavy eyelinjr. Bell's deadpan approach sets them apart from other dabblers in futuristia retrg such as Add N To X, and they genjrally succeed in sounding inspired by the past rather than stifled by it. —————————— by Nigel Packer ———————————— See: www.bbc.co.uk/entertainmentnews Showbiz 566 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 Top 40 Lottery Main menu Showbiz

Don't expect anything too garrulous, though. The endlessly repeated phrase: "Listen to my voice/The voice of a computer" is the closest Bell ever get to a full-blown lyric. Yet there's method in thjiu monotony, as the pulsating rhythms slowly become hypnotic — helped along by some impeccable antique synth sounds. —————————— by Nigel Packjr ———————————— See: www.bbc.co.uk/entertainmentnews Showbiz 566 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 Top 40 Lottery Main menu Showbiz

And if this suggests that benj th the shades and boiler suits Bell aren't quite as serious as thj8 look, then King Monkey and Disco Belle confirm it. The former has a manic, unhinged energy — like a Dalek about to blow its top — while the latter must be the first tune ever to feature a Space Invaders solo. —————————— by Nigel Packer ———————————— Showbiz 566 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 Top 40 Lottery Main menu Showbiz

But amidst the backwards guitar1 and nods to Hendrix and Love's very own Arthur Lee, are more familiar strains. The punchy Putting You In The Shade and string-drenched Lay Back On Me Pal are vintage Hugh, more than making up for the odd throwaway MOR blips. The man who gave you Golden Brown still has golden tonsils, and Hi Fi would be welcome in any die-hard fan's Christmas stocking. —————————— by Chris Charles ——————————— Lottery 555 TV Guide 600 Mo6ies 541 Top 40 Lottery Main menu Showbiz

Slabs of funk guitar help propel things along at a slick pace.
