When tracks first appeared in DJ sets and on garage mix albums circa 2000, they made for an interesting change of pace; instead of hyper-speed ragga chatting or candy-coated divas (or both), listeners heard banging tracks hosted by a strangely conversational bloke with a mock cockney accent and a half-singing, half-rapping delivery.

True, describing his delivery as rapping would be giving an undeserved compliment (you surely wouldn't hear any American rappers dropping bombs like this line: 'I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint'). Still, nearly every song here succeeds wildly, first place (after the hits) going to 'The Irony of It All,' on which and a stereotypical British lout go back and forth 'debating' the merits of weed and lager, respectively ('s meek, agreeable commentary increasingly, and hilariously, causes 'Terry' to go off the edge). The production is also excellent; 'Let's Push Things Forward' is all lurching ragga flow, with a one-note organ line and drunken trumpets barely pushing the chorus forward. 'Sharp Darts' and 'Too Much Brandy' have short, brutal tech lines driving them, and really don't need any more for maximum impact.
