Details: Amazon.ca It's often a long-term disadvantage, especially for dance acts, when a debut single enters the chart at No. 1. Rather than hurrying the release of their self-titled debut, Modjo, and cashing in with an album full of "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" clones, the duo have instead opted to experiment with more diverse musical styles. Some of the tracks still retain a hint of that emerging "Modjo sound" ("Rollercoaster," "On Fire"), but overall they successfully veer away from just being French house anthems. "Peace of Mind" and "What I Mean" are successful forays into pop-laced R&B, while the album opener, "Acknowledgement," is a Pet Shop Boys-style synth instrumental. The best track is undoubtedly "No More Tears," an upbeat pop number that could have been recorded by Stevie Wonder. "Saviour's Eyes" is another funky little number, with a Jamiroquai-style arrangement and vocals strangely mimicking those of Level 42's Mark King. --John Galilee
