Where did 'they' come from... (Yea I know England, but you know what I mean)

Well, I was waking up like I normally do on a Thursday at around the crack of 11, and I work up on the radio to ChumbaWamba's TubThumping. I immediately realized that I REALLY wanted to listen to that CD, because for a year, it was THE disc to own. I even went to a ChumbaWamba concert (and was under-impressed). How does a band that cdnow calls "an anarchist collective-qua-ragged punk band" convert to a "anarchist collective-qua-ultra-slick dance-pop group"? I don't know, but this is the only CD I've ever owned from them and remember it being awesome, filled with my style of music (VERY clean [I mean VERY!, I hate all of this 'dirty' new music thats being revived, grr!] electronic instrumentation and backbeats, a splattering or horns in the right places, catchy hooks). And well, on the way to work I listened to Orgy for a little while, then Crystal Method (Dang, techno is starting to get old) ... Then Chumba went in on the way home, and well, TubThumper is still 'overplayed' but the rest of the CD is perfect mostly. It even is suppose to have a meaning on there somewhere, and a political commentary but I don't concern myself with frivolous things like that when listening to music. I still don't know what that 'thing' on the cover is supposed to represent though... I wonder how long it'll stay in there, I can only seem to listen to 'normal' music (Alternative,Industrial,Rock) for a short period of time, but I can listen to dance-pop straight for weeks. YEA!
