Following on from his critically acclaimed debut album, Antenna, which, as NME commented displays a dry wit and humour which invokes a childish smile on your face, whilst the music is as hard to define as it is easy to enjoy (Q), in March 2001, Brighton based Stuart Cullen, the man like Pilote, steps up with his second album for Certificate 18. Called Do It Now Man, the album was recorded seven floors up in Brighton during the Summer of 2000, and, whilst retaining the melancholy beauty of its predecessor, it takes a more direct route into your brain, with heavier beats and darker edges.

A 10 track offering of indefinable emotions that transcends boundaries with its audible enthusiasm and provocative melancholy, the album continues with Stuarts lack of reverence for hi-technology, as he develops further his inviting sound without depending on specific gadgetry.

Opening with the equally disturbing and amusing Paul Oakenfold (you can just picture the boy Oakenfold at home after a 10 hour set, losing his mind, unable to get those trance riffs out of his system) Do It Now Man also includes Fairplay, which is taken from the 6 track EP 3 To The Floor which, promod towards the end of the year, has already caught the attention of many observant ears.

In addition to the CD version of the album, Bonobos beautiful remix of the wonderful Turtle and Sirconicals reworking of Microphones will also be available on special 10", with the first thousand copies of the vinyl version of Do It Now Man.

Also including tracks like Nelson, Here and The Dialogue, the album will cause yet more confusion on the more eclectic dancefloors across the country, leaving you unsure whether to move your feet or to stop and breathe in the harmonies. Either way, Do It Now Mans adventurous rhythms, plural melodies and contrasting light and dark textures will keep you intrigued. Heads will turn and eyelids will shake.
