Planet Funk Album: “Non Zero Sumness”

'Chase the Sun' was a huge hit all over Europe a couple of years ago and when PF followed it up with the brilliant 'Inside All the People' (one of the best pop songs of 2001, with great vocals by Dan Black and an iconic video) I was really looking forward to the release of this album. Big disappointment therefore that it hasn't had a US or UK release. (Another case of record company chickenism...)

Having finally got hold of it I can confirm it's worth the few extra import dollars. If you like Chase the Sun, you've got more of Sally Doherty's vocals on tracks like 'Under the Rain' as well as some very danceable electro on 'The Switch', 'Tightrope Artist', 'Who Said' and the track they did for Simple Minds, 'Where is the Max'.

I've been mean and given it 4 stars but it's the most listened to of my recent CD purchases so go buy...

Since I haven't been to Europe in a while and I live in the US, I must have been the last person to hear about this band. Even though the songs were [apparently] popular a year or two ago, I find myself listening to the CD at least once a day. This is one of the rare albums in which EVERY track is great. I hope their next release receives worldwide recognition.

I bought this CD when i was abroad in italy this past summer. It's one of the best selling albums there! This is a must buy because there is a great mixture of slow trancy songs and upbeat more techno songs. The singers have great voices, and this CD is great from finish to end. Highly reccommended
