A kind of Southern African lilt with an overbearing Salsa brass section.

It's so desperately busy and shrilly produced that it really grates on the nerves.
It really sounds like a band that thinks it's moved on from it's roots into a whole new world of Latin Jazz sophistication.

There was a lot of groups that started off promisingly in the post-punk boom, and went off a bit. The Gang of Four, Killing Joke, New Order 
Even Scritti Pollitti had a good couple of singles,
I don't know why I mentioned that.

This is better. The songwriting sounds more disciplined.

Hints of Bobby Digital style sound. 
Well, and 80s reggae sound. Only the over produced stuff they've slapped on top.

This seems to have the band's trademark trundling rhythm.
