Is it just me or does anyone else long for the Two Lone Swordsmen of old? Style wise Wrong Meeting II follows on from where their last album finished up, utilising real instruments and vocals on pretty much all of the tracks. For the most part it doesnt work as a lot of the time it ends up sounding like second rate electro rock (which there seems to be a lot of around lately). For me the best track is Shack 54, the only instrumental on the album, which has a good upbeat funky feel to it. By far the worst track is Hey Deborah Anne which sounds like a really bad novelty song. I definitely miss the wonderfully inventive electro sounds of past albums such as Stay Down and A Bag Of Blue Sparks. Now they just sound like their trying to jump on the Klaxons electro rock bandwagon.
