The Null Device

I just picked up the twin Art of Driving CD singles by Black Box Recorder (the deadpan English pop trio, of no relation to any early-90s italo-house acts). CD1 contains a good cover of David Bowie's Rock'N'Roll Suicide (which is pretty much as one would expect a Black Box Recorder cover of said song to be), and the Chocolate Layers (which seems to be a Jarvis Cocker project) remix of their foray into cloying candy-R&B, The Facts of Life, which manages to make it sound more listenable (though the choruses are still too sugary). CD2 has an OK remix of Uptown Top Ranking, the syrupy radio edit of The Facts of Life and a video of same which I haven't seen, though. I'd recommend CD1, and CD2 only if you're a Black Box Recorder completist.
