Ever since 'Toca's Miracle' tranced its way to the Number One spot last year, it was to be expected that Fragma would make a whole album of as many sonic replicas as they could possibly get away with. Take one sketchy outline of a track. Heap in a few spoonfuls of thumping drumbeats. Add varying vocal parts - only female though. Stir in some extraneous strings or synths.
Success is in the bag.
Guess that means that Fragma are to dance what Vengaboys are to pop - decaffeinated, meaningless and vacuous drivel that the kids just don't seem to be able to get enough of. The word euro-dance stirs horrid flashbacks of Robert Miles . Essentially, this is just a modern day take on a sound that has been present in some shape or form for years. Credit where credit's due though - there are one or two tracks that imbed themselves into the little clubber inside every one of us. A glimmer of hope is current single 'Everytime You Need Me' which tramples all over 'Toca's Miracle' and would be a more deserving Number One.
