Fey Antipodean troubadour takes on kooky Scandipoppers in battle to the death. It's a bit like panda cub clubbing. You know it's wrong, but... In the fey corner, Ben TD is busy channelling the spirit of Nick Drake, but in a non rubbish way. He has a decent voice and better melodies, making him a bit good. With mellow folkies still compulsory listening in middle class land, this is the one you should adopt, in between frappucinos. http://www.myspace.com/bentdmusic ALPHABEAT - The Spell Alpahabeat used to be the Scandipop band that should have been good. I nearly liked them when 'Fascination' was brewing up, but they seemed a bit too calculating in their kookiness. This, however, is cracking. The bloke has been relegated to tambourine shaking, where he belongs, the image has had an overhaul, and they've thrown a a touch of Hi-NRG into the mix. All of which makes for a splendid pop tune, which you should all buy immediately, instead of all that X-Factor related pap. Go on. Oh, say you will. Gits. Buy @ Amazon
