If you love good soul and funk, then just buy it. You can dance to it, groove to it in your car, or whatever. It's just good music. It doesn't matter who they are "trying to be" (if that is even true) and it doesn't matter that they sound like they want to have been on Atlantic or Motown records, it's all good. Forget about judging them and listen to the music, and you'll want to buy this album, I know I did.

this cd is great you can listen to it over and over again.

I must admit I borrowed this album and i hated 'Dancing in the moonlight' as it just got played to death, i just wanted to smash the radio everytime that horrible 'plinky plonky' bit started , so i am probably not the person to be writing this review.

I really wanted this lot to do well as i am from the same town (Eastbourne) but i just couldn't get into it at all. Joe Washbourne is trying so hard to be Marc Bolan it is painful in places and i just couldn't really find any stand out singles tracks. It ventures too often into that horrible 'dad rock' territory, previously reserved for Paul Weller's drab new offerings and Ocean Colour Scene (last seen playing my local leisure centre)and look what happended to them!. I think Toploader arrived too late and could have been bigger 6/7 years ago.

It's not a bad album, just not a good one

Never heard of them before but saw the video (Time of my life) on MTV and bought the CD. Really good, rockin',funky music.
