This fourth album by Tjinder Singh's group is a sure-footed survey of international party styles. Through 13 tracks, they manage to locate the secret connections between funk, hip-hop turntablism, boogie rock, roots reggae, French house, Punjabi folk, heavy psychedelia and, yes, good old-fashioned indie-pop. On paper it looks dauntingly over-ambitious, and in the hands of any other band it probably would be. But Singh has a talent for finding universal accessibility at the heart of any genre, and a pathological fear of the clichéd and portentous. So Handcream begins with deep soul singer Otis Clay making the introductions on \"Heavy Soup\", cranks up a hoary old Stones riff for an extended rant about the music biz on \"Lessons Learned From Rocky I To Rocky III\" and even finds a use for Noel Gallagher on the 15-minute soaring raga of \"Spectral Mornings\". Best of all, the whole album's imbued with a spirit that's both celebratory and contrary, one that challenges and stimulates even while it's making you dance on the table. --John Mulvey      Product Description      For the pessimists who thought 1998's \"Brimful Of Asha\" might have made Cornershop one-hit wonders, Handcream For A Generation acts as a dazzling Technicolor rejoinder.
