There’s talk of a new album. For the meantime, get this magnificent masterpiece and play very very loud indeed.

Intelligent, beautifully crafted and compelling.

While constantly dynamic, Planet Pimp never runs away with itself.

The world might not yet be familiar with Norwegian hip-hop, but...Madcon are very able ambassadors

Scars – if they can't be completely removed by surgery, at least they fade in time.

Criticising the Warhols for being arch is like criticizing the Pope for being Catholic.

An average soul album that neither puts a perfumed foot wrong, nor does anything particularly special.

Fans can rejoice, the rest of us can move along...

Monkey represents a really intelligent and successful attempt to fuse East and West in new ways. And for that alone it is a triumph.
