Comedy genius, I could listen to some of these sketches forever. However, how it works as an 'album' is questionable, but it does serve as a nice resume of his work. Musically he chooses well, the soundtracks adding atmosphere and suspense to the sketches at appropriate moments, although nothing I would listen to in their own right.

Not really a music album, but the (Warp recorsd) music included into the sound design is of a high quality. Chris Morris is something of a genius, but comedy albums are not something you can listen to over and over again.

If I'd been familiar with these sketches beforehand I might have a whole different perspective on them, but as tracks to an album I'm not sure that a lot of these really work. Humour in music is fine but you mustn't get drawn into the idea of punchlines as the focus of the idea or else there is essentially no real point in playing something ever again once you have heard it. Some pieces do avoid this with an even spread of emphasis, like the run of club names and DJs in Club News, this is great stuff but on the whole it doesnt feel like a lot of these pieces hold many surprises on re-playing. I feel a bit miserable criticising this as I am a big fan of Chris Morris but what can you do?
