HAVING made their pact with The Groove, it sounds like these five West Countrymen have been whooping it up in the palace of excess, having the time of their lives awaiting the arrival of wisdom.

The permutations are endless - the Curtis Mayfield fronting Led Zeppelin of That Kind of Man, through The Streets meets Hendrix hipster rap of Girl, the Princely blues of Brukpocket's Lament, the Portishead with grit of Who Needs Sunshine and the Muscle Shoals on E workout of Coleen.

It's like McAlmont and Butler decided they could get along well enough to make another record; or Lenny Kravitz stopped listening to his own ego; or Blur found the funk As unafraid to rock as it is to dance, beware of The Heavy, they could mess with your soul.
