...speaks Chinese, but when she palavers in English, out pours E.M. Forster starchy Brit-speak. She does "yah," she does "-ish" and she'll use the word 'prat' or 'ponce' with intuitive aplomb. Not to mention the bodywork: Mok's put together like an E-type Jaguar, curvaceous, sinuous, pantheresque. She's got legs Lara Croft wouldn't mind and a brain Angelina Jolie wouldn't recognize...

There were recognizable melodies and sinuous bass-lines, beats to groove to and even a little harmony. Even better, the songs were pretty innovative and incredibly upbeat. This was the most aggressively happy hip-hop ever, with song titles like "Feelin' Alright" and "Beautiful Day?" Len also has a penchant for the robotic-voice vocoder effect, and they made use of it several times, invoking memories of New Wave...
