Billed as the only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture, Chromeo are The Darkness dressed in electrofunk '80s kitsch and huge lashings of absurdity. From the stadium entrance style introduction to PhD student Dave-1's dead-pan platitudes, 'Fancy Footwork' is a hugely entertaining romp that will have you digging out the stonewash jeans and oversized earrings.

It is clear that the Minneapolis based duo don't take themselves too seriously; this comes across in the cartoonish quality of the 14 cuts. Steer clear if you can't stand Alphaville or prefer your sonic jollies guitar based, otherwise this effort is a vital force to the dying '80s revival.

'Bonafide Lovin'' is a synth masterpiece, underpinned by a cheesy Toto-esque riff and an absurd chorus ("I'll give you bonafied lovin'/ Oh oh oh oh/ The type that makes me feel old"), and went straight onto my iPod playlist. On the hilarious 'Momma's Boy' the hero has the nasty habit of comparing every girl to his mother: "And you got it, so bad/ When the only boy you know is your dad/ And boy you got it, so wrong/ When you look into her eyes and all you really see is your mom."

'Tenderoni' is as sleazy as a porn director?s ponytail and the title track buzzes with retro rhythm.

If there are complaints to be made, at 30 minutes the CD is lightweight and there are plenty of interludes and hazy musical asides that can only be described as filler. It is also difficult to see where the band can go from here, as you simply can't fathom another turning up of the reverb after two 'big blunts' of mirror ball mayhem.

That said, this is an album to heal Jerusalem. Or at the very least begin a disturbing new trend of moustaches and sports jackets. The artist formerly known as Symbol and Prince would be proud.
