Truly, this is dance music at its best. Trippy music, easy lyrics and... trippy music.

Anyone wondering where this band went post 1992's I'm Too Sexy and its follow-ups, Don't Talk Just Kiss and Deeply Dippy, might well be forgiven. Frontman Richard Fairbrass himself admits how their consequent ditties were a mite too self-indulgent to score.

Luckily, with Fredhead, music's sexiest bald men have rediscovered what makes them bop. Typically, in keeping with the band's original sound, this album, too, has shades of the gay experience: irony, cynicism and of course, hedonism.

The first single off the album, You're My Mate, has already gone platinum in faraway South Africa. Other songs on the album include the smash Lovers.com that starts slow but breaks into full-fledged floor-thumping, Bring Your Smile, which wins only because its backing vocals bring to life the potential in the rest of the song, and Insatiable You, on which the guitar is sort of a band member in itself.

For new listeners, the group's hedging its beats: the album includes remakes of their chartbusters, I'm Too Sexy, Don't Talk Just Kiss and the single Mojive (short for modern jive).

Spell-binding, light-hearted, catchy pop. Straight-up, unpretentious and worth many car-rides.
