Like punk and hippie, for a very brief and, with hindsight, rather silly period it seemed as if dance music could change the world. The cover of Pursuit of Happiness conjures up those hazy, loved-up days, with a picture of an endless road (the M25?) and a distant horizon signifying the elusive pot of gold at the end of rave's rainbow. The music on this debut album from Groove Armada's Andy Cato and Nottingham singer Rachel Foster also remembers that early euphoria, but simmers with the current post-dance comedown. These are regretful grooves halfway between Fingers Inc and Everything But the Girl. Although the duo veer towards M-People smoothness, Foster's troubled voice never allows things to get too comfy and gives some depth to lyrical platitudes. The standout is 21st Century, which mixes an electro-bass shudder and endearingly pie-in-the-sky ramblings about "love for the 21st century". Play it again and again and you might wonder if those rave ideals ever died out after all.
