Basshunter: 'Angel In The Night'

Basshunter, the man, is actually a lot of fun: hyperactive, uninhibited and almost entirely preoccupied with getting laid. When his album debuted at number one on the UK charts, he told DS that it felt like "every cell in my entire body was having a major orgasm". If Leona Lewis said such a thing, Simon Cowell would go bald in an instant.

But Basshunter, the musician, is almost unbearably tedious. 'Angel In The Night' doesn't sound exactly like his other singles - this one features a guitar riff - but other than that it's business as usual for the sex-obsessed Swede: throbbing Eurodance beats, keyboard sounds that should be illegal in 2008 and his own tuneless, deadpan vocals over the top. How can such an energetic, excitable man make music this lifeless?
