The thing with Hot Chip is always that they're playing round with other styles of music and by and large getting them wrong, but they often get it wrong in a wonderful way. Sometimes they just get it wrong full stop mind and I've never been 100% sure whether the amateurish feel is a fault or a virtue, or swinging between the two several times within the course of one album. This one falls into the latter category. A trancey remix would be nice though.

The Mark Brown/Sarah Cracknell one brings out some kind of Pavlovian response in me where I feel an irrepressible urge to go out and get a mortgage or a bank loan or something. I don't want my pop music to remind me of the financial services industry thankyou.

Haven't heard any of the others and don't really care.
