...into the sound of the vocals," says Albarn. "It is a very elemental record, it is informed by the weather and environment it was made in." But Think Tank is more than a grown-up-rocker-discovers-Afropop indulgence. The production involvement of Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) and remix-master William Orbit was an inspired stroke, but their hand is light, quelling fears that this would be Blur's dance album. The opening track, Ambulance - which would sit easily on David Bowie's Low - begins with a declaration: "I ain't got nothing to be scared of." And Albarn...
...techno songs are about the mechanization and superficiality of modern life. The production, by Mirwais Ahmadzai, is predictably stuttering and jumpy. The tracks sound fussed over, but they're also full of surprising grooves and are primed for club play. It's the vocals that could use a remix.

Last year the Dutch DJ Junkie XL (Tom Holkenburg) slapped a ferocious backbeat on "A Little Less Conversation," a sassy but obscure Mac Davis-Billy Strange composition that Elvis recorded in 1968. The Presley Estate sharply agreed to let Junkie apply his remix to a Nike commercial, on the Ed Sullivan from-the-waist-up condition he change his name to JXL. The result: a #1 single in 22 countries, and the singer's first chart-topper of the 21st century. The cut is included on "30 #1 Hits," and most Presley fans approve...
