The album opens with 'Hawaiian Silky' and 'Mr. Shakes', concoctions of funky drumming, tremolo keyboard lines and horn riffs that really satisfy. All the while, the chiselled bass tones and wah guitar patterns hold the ingredients firmly in the mix. Bubbling 'found sounds' are stirred in for extra spice as the heady brew begins to work its charms. The low-slung and slinky strutting of 'Don't Leave Home' follows this - if you ever glided down a busy footpath with a sly grin on your face, this could have been the spooky anti-soundtrack...
