In June, Days Go By, a swirling slab of whey-faced 1980s electronica, was chosen to accompany a car advertising campaign in the US, and London trio Dirty Vegas suddenly found themselves with a top 20 single Stateside. More surprising yet, this debut album eclipsed the car song, debuting at number seven. The album is more of the same electro-pounding: China Crisis's synthesiser-led Britplod merging surprisingly seamlessly with Air's deft ethereality. 7AM has the efficiency of Everything But the Girl's dance phase, and the near-instrumental Throwing Shapes is a dance-floor thumper. Singer Steve Smith has a remorseful, elegiac, early-morning voice: regretful on Candles, almost hoarse on All Or Nothing. They even have time for a bonkers moment when Simple Things Part 2 takes a minute to become Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2). It is hard to see them sustaining their US heroics, but it is harder still to see their native land not briefly succumbing.
