Product Description
Holland's hottest live act toured the world in support of their debut album, "Boogie Angst" and the single "Squeeze Me" was a hit across Europe. Their brand of future funk led to their singles being supported by the cream of Radio 1, with jocks Annie Nightingale, Annie Mac, Pete Tong, and Rob Da Bank championing their music. "Plastic People" is a great follow-up as the group's popularity grows exponentially.
Album Description
Heineken, Van Gogh, Kraak & Smaak. The three most famous things to come out of Holland. Ever. In that order. Ok so maybe a bit of an exaggeration but the last three years have been an incredible ride for the band considered to be Hollands most credible export and as they gear up for the release of their second album things seem set to get even crazier. After touring the planet in support of their debut album and remixing all their peers and heroes, the time came for the band to start recording their second album. "The goodwill we got from our first album opened some doors for us" says Mark "We wanted to write with the people who are in the band as the core of the album but we also had met some people along the way who had got us excited and it was great that when we contacted them they wanted to work with us. Weve got a killer track with Ben Westbeech on vocals which is lined up as the first proper single from the new album and another that we wrote with Mark Brydon from Moloko as the second. Weve got vocal tracks with Rose and Ro in the bank and a killer track with rapper Dudley Perkins from Stones Throw who weve had respect for for a long time". "The new album is a bit more grown up than the first album" says Wim "Weve worked with some of our heroes and thats had an effect. We still want to write tracks that rock it on a dancefloor but weve also done an incredible cinematic track with Carmel who was a famous jazz singer in the 80s."

Makes Everything All Right November 11, 2008
Truth time. The whole album is kind of "eh".
Not bad. But not exactly great either. So why did I give this album 5 stars? Two words:
1) Squeeze
2) Me
Here's what typically does it for me. I enjoy a song that has a definitive hip-hop structure, a good vibe, and is laced with funky beats. This song has all of that, with the addition of some of the best usage of horn-step breaks I've ever heard. That single song is worth buying the whole album.
The rest of the album is still OK. Again, it's not terrible it just gets lost because when you hear a jam like Squeeze Me... and every other track becomes superfluous.
If you do something right for yourself today - go ahead and get yourself some "Squeeze Me".
