 You all know the Calvin Harris story by now (23 year-old Dumfries bedroom producer is turned, via furious adding on MySpace, from Marks & Spencer shelf-stacker into major Kylie-collaborating player). But far more important is just how crazily talented Harris is.

Brilliant title aside, Harris’s debut is less than satisfying, though not uninteresting. The deadpan opener, Merrymaking at My Place, and the amusing title track are good examples of his sardonic electro-pop, familiar from the inescapable hit singles The Girls and Acceptable in the 80s.
However, his gimmicky cynicism is wearing over a whole album. Maybe he really is just a Scottish misanthrope who makes records in his bedroom....full text |
