Sonny J Yahoo! Review

"Having lived in a cave for the last year and a half, your correspondent didn't catch this single when it was a buzz on the net last year. According to some sources, it came out as a single back then too, but Sonny himself - that's Sonnington James III to you - claims it's never been in the shops. Just to hedge his bets, this release comes with a Mirwais mix as well as the original jam. You know, in case someone complains…

Whatever the back story, this is a spectacular, spectacular single, the answer to that long-posed question: "Where the hell is the second Avalanches album?" Based on what sounds like a Michael Jackson sample (although Sonny claims not), this is a sampledelic delight, a cut'n'paste blast of feelgood energy that fuses early Go! Team with the restless, infectious magpie confidence of thoseAvalanche boys. Not bad for a Scouser currently living on the north Kent coast."
