The return of the Space Cowboy! (Oh come on, let's be honest - unless you know your dance music, you never knew he was gone). Having already filled the dancefloors with I Would Die 4 U and Put Your Hand In Mine, Space Cowboy aims at former glories with an arsenal consisting of stabbing strings, a funky bassline and the mandatory cheesy vocals.
The end result is not bad at all. In fact, it threatens to elevate Space Cowboy to the dizzy heights of the Armand Van Helden's of this world. Funnily enough, Van Helden remixes Crazy Talk as one of the b-sides. He neither spoils nor enhances the track, but his presence is notable regardless.
Crazy Talk is an Ibiza feel-good tune through and through, and finds itself somewhere between the extremes of dance music: it's not as leftfield as Leftfield, but at the same time it's not as depressingly predictable as Alice Deejay or any other number of so-so dance stars. Crazy Talk is worth dancing with, but you wouldn't take her home to meet the folks.
