THERE is something strangely addictive about Hadouken!, a bit like the flavourings you get in those brightly coloured children's soft drinks.

When the so-called new rave scene exploded two years ago the music industry was desperate to jump on the bandwagon, especially after Klaxons' Mercury Award success. But that was then and this is now, quite why it's taken this long for the debut album of one of the genre's most-hyped bands is still unknown.

The early singles That Boy That Girl and Liquid Lives have an explosive energy that's hard to ignore, but as a whole Music For an Accelerated Culture borders on an incoherent mess.

At times it's all a little too clinical. The lyrics grate like parmesan after a few listens and they lose that spontaneous grime attitude they once promised.
