If there's a way to hold attention, it's to hint at a payoff that never arrives. The Bug's trap-dub influenced beat swells quite a few times throughout the, but the song dissolves into a formless chorus before any kind of release is ever achieved. Miss Red's vocals are a prime example of the childish delivery that has become omnipresent in British electronic music. They are passable at best and verge on grating at points. Nevertheless, The Bug's masterful manipulation of tension alone makes the song worth a listen.
