"I havent listened to many mint royale tracks of late, and then yesterday I hear their 'singing in the rain' mix while driving home in downtown Doha, Qatar. It was playing on Radio One with Emma B...For ages her show has been introducing me to the rythems of TinStar, LoveRush, GlobalDeejays, etc...

so...nice...

cheers!"

The poppiest of the big beat breed

"Mint Royale succeed where other of their ilk (eg. Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Propellerheads) do not because they are tied to the pop melody rather than the DJ schtick. Their arrangements are lush and melodic, their tunes emotive and their songs all under 5 minutes! Ignoring the novelty value of 'Singing In The Rain', there's a wealth of wonderful pop moments on this album and an even greater wealth on their two previous outings. For a damn good time try 'On The Ropes', for a slightly more melancholic dose of their charms, go for 'Dancehall Places'. 'See You In The Morning' is more soft and reflective than bright and bubbly but it's a fine record with those trademark washes of melody running throughout. Recommended."
