wrong I blame the French keyboard myself)
SEriously am I the only person to think that the album wasn't all that bad?
Being stuck out here in sunny Strasbourg, one really does "listen without
prejudice" as Best Male Artist (Brit definition not mine) George Michael
once said ie I heard the album without knowing it was hip to diss them and
thought it was ok.
 
Much has been made of the fact that they are poshies but they can't help it. 
At least if you're middle class you can less easily be called a class traitor.

As for the Kula tribe. I'd rather them than the !Kung who must be the
anthropological equivalent of Wham!, at least in lexicological terms.

Yours in the heart of Europe
