Amazon.co.uk Review
Named after the 1940s passenger company that shipped Black Americans to the motherland Africa during civil rights struggles, this Leeds outfit are a cross-cultural blend of Asian pop and electronic dance music, centred around the "mouth and trousers" of Indian-Trinidadian Choque Hosein. This, their major label debut, has a seamless, film-like quality. There's the rich orchestral sweep and Indian percussion in "Ethnic Suicide Of The Volga Boatman"; the sensation of pop kitsch colliding with Two Tone on "Superfly & Bindi" (Choque's homage to The Specials); and the audacious psychedelic take on Indian restaurant muzak with "Inder Automatic". Though less overtly political than Asian Dub Foundation, the other proponents of what has been labelled "New Asian Cool", this trio have made a subtle yet powerful impact, creating an intensely melodic debut that can be replayed again and again. --Lucy O'Brien
