Cursor Miner (aka Rob Tubb) is nothing if not original. Released at the end of 2002, Tubb's Explosive Piece of Mind LP, managed to come off as a Kraftwerk/Madness collaboration, and was none the worse for it. In predictably unpredictably fashion, his latest release, Library, sounds a bit like a cross between The Streets' Don't Mug Yourself and the Wombles theme tune. Based on a clumsy but enjoyably squelchy electro-funk rhythm, the tune lollops along as Tubb extols the virtues of going to the library. Well, his heart is in the right place, and this is possibly the only electro-funk record you will hear that name-checks tectonic plates and Michael Portillo, but the joke seems to outweigh the quality of the music (a pitfall he skilfully avoided on Explosive Piece of Mind). While this is a catchy piece of music, and enjoyable for a few spins, the joke soon wears pretty thin.

Much better though is the B-side, Our Day Will Come. A drunken accordion skips along accompanied by dub echoes and woozy vocals. It won't get people on the dancefloor, but the sweet melodies and lazy rhythm make it the perfect soundtrack for the end of a particularly decadent house party.
