Hands up everyone who watched “Hercules” and/or “Xena” last century. I thought so, lots of you and I am including the fibbers up the back as well. You know how it goes, we have good news and bad news.

The good news is that this has nothing whatsoever to do with either show.
The bad news is that there are only two tracks on the myspace site.

The band is basically a guy named Andrew Butler and he’s making really great dance music (this will amuse my friends who know that I can’t dance to save my life). It’s easy to write this music of as dufduf ( you know the annoying noise from the car sitting next to you at the traffic lights), but I would like to suggest that everybody needs a few tracks like this on the MP3 player. My personal favourite would have to be early Bomfunk MC the Finnish electronic house group. But that would be me.

Of the two tracks on offer “Athene” is the hands down winner. Dont get me wrong, both will be making their way onto the player but “classique2″ doesn’t work for me. I think it might have something to do with tempo.

Short version, well crafted and executed and well worth a few minutes of your time and just think if you like it and download a copy you might win the “cool” competition at the traffic lights next time. Or not.
