Each track follows a rigid formula, with surging synths, throbbing basslines and corny, power ballad-style choruses that arrive exactly when you expect them to.

With 16 tracks in total, most listeners will require a packet of Ibuprofen and plenty of resilience to see them through to the finish. Sadly, Altberg's warmth and sense of humour is a world away from the cold calculation of this robotic debut LP. A Tourettes sufferer who has minor obsessions with geek culture and his own genitalia, he provides more interesting chatter in five minutes than any number of hours locked away with a Pigeon Detective or a Guillemot. In interviews Altberg comes across as a fascinating character.

He takes the Stock Aitken Waterman hit factory production process to new lows, literally knocking out sound-a-like 'choons' from his home computer. Altberg produces mass consumption hits that appeal to a generation more used to downloading ringtones than flicking through the Woolies' singles charts for their pop fix.

Altberg, who began making music on the computer program Fruity Loops nearly a decade ago, has outsold nearly every Winehouse-wannabe soul siren and skinny-jeaned indie band by a whopping great margin this year. The continuing success of Jonas Altberg is without question the most bizarre story the pop world has thrown up in 2008.
