heres what R2 magazine said about Charge- pretty nice eh! The third album from the MCB slips in with some driving accordion led playing setting the toes tapping. Just when auntys starting to nod her head though the cocoa goes flying as the beats and electronics kick in and its monster business as usual. One of the most exciting/heretical - you decide - dance bands in the country MCB link british traditional music and throbbing post-rave party madness to create an insidiously euphoric blend that few attempt, and even fewer achieve. With individual credits covering most of the scene the bands folk credentials are immaculate, but they ares shaped by drum band bass producer Joe Truswell into something vibrantly fresh. Highlights include the heavy, and gloriously titled 80s Ferret and the spiralling Ozric-folk of Alien Forces but this isnt an album from which to pick and mix tracks rather its a set to get you on your feet and flailing about like crazy. Joyously visceral, Charge is on of the most celebratory records Ive heard in long time. Oz Hardwick ******
