    The great biggest farce of the year: This wanna be's CSS-Retro-Electro-Schockers "band". Uncomfortably, vary bad imitation of CSS, they do the right and real stuff, and not plastic stuff like NYPC.

    NYPC's restrained disco needs to rip it up and get wilder, cos this down‘n’dirty posse is actually cleaner than a Boots cosmetics counter.

    Fantastic Playroom packs enough innovation in its boosters to reach new rave escape velocity.

    Over a whole album, the formula wears thin, and they sound like a band trying too hard to be trendy.
