The New Floyd, apparently, which is usually enough to get us stoking the ovens. Little sign of those reported prog leanings
here though as our favourite ambi-lounge Frenchies do 'Kelly Watch The Stars' reeeeeeaaalllyyy sloooooooooowwlllyyyyy while
a choir of android monks float overhead singing the praises

No really. In case you're in any doubt after three minutes of squelchy plodding that sounds like a herd of hippopotami mating in space and some woman wittering on about "melancholy snipers" and 'flower gun users", they even bung a Chris Moyles impersonator on the end to secure their slot on the A-list. Taken from the album 'Top Of The Pops (Every Show A Classic)', 'Radio #1' has all the integrity of that Reef classic 'It's Your Letters' and only a modicum more charm. Or they could be taking the piss, in which case this is genius.
