I'm liking that tune a lot. There is enough going on to keep me interested instead of a traditional strumming technique that so turns me off music of this ilk. Once again proof that good music is out there if you look for it.

RE:Madness. I still haven't checked out the new album but I am au fait with the band riding the coat tails of Ska and that they moved away from the genre early on in their career. Unfortunately they did use the genre as a nostalgia trip with their Madstock concerts in the 90's which has saddled them with the tag of bouncy Ska enthusiasts whether deserved or not.
