'One part Abba, two parts Twin Peaks' not a bad description of a record. In this case it's the artist's own, Grace Lightman's description of her sound and her debut album, Silver Eater. It's a slick, smooth beast indeed, redolent at various points of Goldfrapp, Kylie, Ladyton and Madge herself, but always maintaining a fierce electro-dance identity of its own.
A couple of killer tracks short of classic status it's still a very good record, which should shift some units given the right marketing push. Lightman has a smooth voice which simply floats across the surface of one slickly constructed track after another.

Reminiscent at some points of that strange moment in the late Seventies when space adventure became a sub genre of disco. Silver Eater is cool, mainstream multiplex entertainment.
