If Blur had had a bigger chip on their shoulder along with an unhealthy interest in bontempis and samplers, they would have been Regurgitator. This outstanding Aussie band have been pleasing audiences in their home country for years, but I was only introduced to 'Unit Rebooted' by a native fan of theirs last year. Though at first dubious, (after all, they can sound a bit like an art school punk band) I heard third track '!(the song formerly known as)' and was sold. With one of the catchiest soultrain intros I've ever heard, the track then turns into a Numan-esque elegy to agraphobia and club aversion, damn funny in an irresistably sing-along kind of way. The band's style canot be pigeon-holed, from the dark funky pop of 'song formerly...', the electro-melancholy of 'Black Bugs' (with a chorus you could hang your coat off,) and the distincly Everlast style of 'I will lick your arsehole' (effortlessly outshining similar tracks from LimpBizkit, Papa Roache et al,) this album is for everyone, bored of the UK alt-scene, who ever accidentally caught themselves liking a Kraftwerk tune. This album blends moog cheese, electronic noodling and lo-fi acoustic licks with a surreal sense of humour that won't fail to disappoint, as in 'PolyesterGirl' - a love song from a man to his blow-up doll. Its dirty, its funky and above all, it reminds you that if you and your little sister had persevered with that multicoloured synthesiser your grandparents bought you for Xmas in 1984, you too could have had your own band!

Try not to groove - I dare you
21 April 2000
Format:Audio CD
Sizziling combination of Pop, funk and electronica, this energetic band experiments with all kinds of genres that lead to a delicious result. Sordid, seedy yet upbeat and poppy, this album is the perfect compliment to the Gurge's harder rock debut album, Tu Plang. Quan Yeoman's sound is amazing. I was fortunate enough to catch this band live in Australia and was blown away by the energy and intensity they displayed. None of their enthusiasm is lost in the studio with this excellent album. I defy anyone to keep still when it is playing. I recomend everyone to check out this album as well as Tu Plang and their newest album, Art. Do yourself a favour and get the whole story.

"Unit" is an essential album is alternative music. Don't listen to other reviews that list them purely as another "australian rock" act or another "pop and alternative" band. Get this album, no matter who you are, and you'll be pleased.
