Advantages: Funny, tuneful, catchy

Disadvantages: Only 6 tracks long

If you don't know who Flight of the Conchords are then you are not alone. They have silently snuck up into British consciousness through the BBC radio and BBC4 route - this instantly seems to isolate them into the category of high-brow comedy.

However, the songs of the New Zealand folk-pop-rock-soul-funk-rap duo are absolutely hilarious. If you have ever heard their radio show or seen their HBO TV show then you will instantly recognise the classics on this EP. As a taste of their main album from the HBO show, this gives three finished songs and three tracks from a live show which are even funnier than from their TV show.

It kicks off with 'Business Time,' a catchy number celebrating the errr, joy of love. This is followed by 'If you're into it' - a hilarious jingle-jangle song perfect to woo a lady in a new relationship. 'I'm not crying' is the funniest break-up song i've ever heard where as the live version of their masterpiece 'Most Beautiful Girl in the....Room'is the best version I've ever heard. Following on from a bit of banter, their post-apocolyptic finisher 'Robots' will have you instantly addicted to these talented and funny Kiwis and you will be back to the start to rehear it all again.

Summary: Deserved Grammy award winning album from the funniest Antipodeans that ever played music
