Nothing that follows quite matches the pop genius of "Assassinate Me" but there is lots to enjoy. The over-the-top 80s-themed lyrics continue in "Nuclear Bitch" as singer Dorian Deveraux warns us that: 'Her love is radioactive' and 'She will contaminate you!' While the lyrics might lack the subtlety, the music is intelligent with a delightful middle eight where the synths take the lead with the other instruments fading out, meaning the beat is all the more effective when it returns.

Things take an industrial turn for "Neochrome" - as the name might suggest. The distorted male vocals, so popular in this genre, but so unpopular with me, make an appearance. The cover of The Chameleons' "2nd Skin" (sic) is an unexpected turn and walks that difficult line between reinventing the song and not removing all that made the original so special. It's such a special song that it sends shivers down the spine in whatever incarnation I hear it.

As if inspired by The Chameleons to raise their game, Jesus On Extasy offer the epic "Alone" which is replete with spooky-choir samples, an emotionally-wrought atmosphere and crunchy guitars. "I'm looking for a new home, traveled from Paris to Rome". This song conjures the majesty of early VAST, and by extension early Nine Inch Nails. It shows that even when Jesus On Extasy take on the darker side of life they are just as effective as when they are smearing themselves in jelly and having a party.

While puppets may be an acquired taste in real life, in song form they act as an effective metaphor. There's a sinister side to "Puppet" which recalls Uninvited Guest, both lyrically and musically. Vintage synths usher in "Nowhere Girl", which are soon complemented by a thumping beat.

"Reach Out" is Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer" reinvented for the 21st Century. It starts quietly, featuring mainly Deveraux's voice and drums, but builds with synths and guitars. The pace increases dramatically. It never quite reaches the epic torch song of which I think the band are capable, but it acts as a signpost of what the band might achieve in the future. "Assassinate Me (KMFDM RMX)" brings things to a close.

If, like Adam Ant, you want your music to have as much to do with 'showbiz' as it does with 'rock'n'roll' then Jesus On Extasy are for you. They make pop music that is larger than life, yet which encompasses a wide spectrum of emotion. Jesus On Extasy have played with the likes of L'ame Immortelle and The Birthday Massacre, which shows the band are going places. Now is the time to book your ticket for the ride of your life.
