Not that you'd be able to tell from 'Cof the E', right enough. The pictures on the inside sleeve betray a one time axe god reduced to the likeness of a bus-station bum panhandling for 50p. Worse still, the music is the most superfluous sonic wallpaper you'll come across this side of 'Essential Chill Out vol 673'. Largely instrumental, partially indedbited to Air and Daft Punk (see the sole highlight ' I have seen the sunlight' and wholly boring, NME only managed to stay awake throughout these 11 crushingly pedestrian tracks by necking Vim'n'tonic and plucking out public hairs every 30 seconds.
