Catatonia 'Mulder and Scully' (Warner/Blanco Y Negro)

Now, if this isn't a cheesy cash in on a pair of loveable TV paranormal investigators to ensure a healthy chart placing and subsequent fame then the Pope's a cross-dressing Prodigy fan who runs a small ammunitions factory in Iraq to keep up repayments on the Vatican. And quite frankly, I find that hard to believe.

We can of course excuse them when they throw up a tune that packs a punch as hard as Mulder is cunning, and their singer's croons, moans and screams are as sexy as Scully is stunning.

Every once in a while a band comes along that actually attempts to fulfill its job title (popular music entertainers). Catatonia are that band for the moment, and prove that there's life left in pop yet and that it's not just another outdated myth from the 60s.
