Some tracks were made to streak across the night sky at an open air festival. 'The Bomb', the stellar opening track on this irrefutably impressive EP, is one of those tracks, coming on like The Chems when they still had a bee in their bonnet. 'Lovely' is another, nailing the task of using cold electronica to produce a paradoxically melancholic sound. Elsewhere, 'Rainy Day' is enjoyable electro wanking and 'Space Invasion' a bit of fun.
