He makes his music on an Amiga computer (possibly in between games of Monkey Island). He seemingly appeared from nowhere earlier this year and hijacked the charts with the perfect electro-pop of Acceptable in the 80s.

He has worked with ex-Moloko frontwoman Roisin Murphy and an obscure Australian artist called Kylie Minogue. He is almost certainly going to be everywhere this summer.

Sadly, his debut album is a bit of a disappointment.

Following on the heels of two top-ten hits, the tongue-in-cheek titled I Created Disco (he didn't really - he wasn't born until 1984) is not a terrible record but definitely suffers from having its two strongest tracks released as the lead-off singles.

The aforementioned Acceptable… is already a classic; all Daft Punk-esque squeaks and falsetto vocals. Follow-up cut The Girls somehow managed to be even better than its predecessor with a dirty synth bassline and simple drum pattern ushering in one of the simplest and catchiest tracks of recent memory.

These tunes aside, Colours is one of the better offerings on the album but if it wasn't for the cheeky lift of a musical hook from Visage's Fade to Grey it would be fairly unmemorable. Opener Merry Making at My Place is a paean to substance abuse in the comfort of one's own home and features Harris' high pitched vocals over one of the albums' more interesting backing tracks.

The biggest problem is that I Created Disco just doesn't have enough hooks or invention to hold the listener's attention for the whole album. Vegas and the title track itself are promising enough but ultimately lack the chorus punch that you know Harris has the ability to deliver.

It's all too easy to think that Stuart Price was doing this kind of thing much better eight years ago as Les Rhythmes Digitales.

My advice is to spend a couple of quid on the singles and dance yourself silly but save the rest of your money for a more deserving LP. Gareth Jones
