    A brilliant international debut that does justice to the pristine mayhem of the Aussie EP's. The two singles, Pony Ride and Come Ova, are genre defying, twisted visulisations that exist in the warped mind of Chrils Colonna.

    Christopher Colonna's partly annoying, wholly unintelligible emceeing on ''Pony'' could not possibly prepare you for the nasal pseudosnarl of lady rapper Vila, who dominates the album's latter half.
