sorry I was thinking of Senor Coconut. Probably thinking of Kid Creole and the Coconuts....

Kanye hasn't really impressed me in the past, but the new album drops most of the bluster and bling stuff that put me off. His production skills are second to none, especially on the likes of Stronger - if Daft Punk can be impressed by what he did to their song, well it doesn't get better than that.

I thought he was too sample-based - so the new album proves that he has some talent, rather relying on samples, really.
