"I haven't been this happy since they released Funky Town", Homer exclaims in an ancient Simpsons episode. That being the case then Springfield's fattest will no doubt appreciate this offering from Len.

Following up from the sparkling debut single 'Steal My Sunshine', the Len crew have come up with one of the funkiest tracks since the days of disco.

The playful rap lines and slinky bass of 'Cryptik Souls' should see the Canadian funksters establish themselves as staple chart performers. They aren't Public Enemy, they're the antithesis of the Wu-Tang. There's no social or political message to this track, it's just fun-loving pop done well.
Will Smith or Five would give their front teeth for a single this fresh. Thank god they don't!
