Review by John Calvert

An escapist Jamaica-pop lark with a traditional bent and a big heart, in the realms of good-times bass you could do a lot worse than the classy and charming Watch Me Dance.»

"a bit of the soul from soul ii soul club classics and a bit of the left-field from leftism, i've been listening to those now and again, they took in a whole load of club music and made an album that summed something up and were great to listen to at the same time." ready!
