Mr Fogg
Seciov / Black Heart

I remember this band! Their clever record label managed to get them pre-loaded onto a batch of Zen music players back in 2006. Actually, I recognise this song too; it’s the very same one that they used at the time and that was over a year ago. Why on earth are they releasing it as a single now?

It gets worse, this isn’t a new take on things – it’s a carbon copy of the song I heard originally and I didn’t like it a great deal then!

Mr Fogg aren’t talentless though, in fact I reckon the singer has a great voice with a distinctive tone and there’s a part of all of us that likes a bit of pop. This song just doesn’t do it… again.

B-side ‘Black Heart’ is a more monochrome version of their style, but it’s still vastly similar to ‘Seciov’.

I can’t work it out. Did it take them this long to come up with the second track needed to turn this into a single or what?
