With Madam Music's love of animation and creativity, Hentaigene had to be the right choice to launch our 'monthly mmm'.

We've been watching these guys for a few months now, ever since they found us talking to the Gorillaz, their supposed rivals. "No more Gorillaz" is one of their slogans.

Lets get down to the music - a meeting of metal, hip hop and an air of comedy. 'Animation', a simple and catchy track with an appeal to a wide audience, draws it's listeners with Cartman style (South Park) vocals, courtesy of Emcee Kim, and its likening of his life to animation.

The 'Animation' music video is a perfect blend of Japanese Manga style animation, reality and puppetry, with contrasting soft and masculine imagery - a quality piece of artwork in it's own right.

While the three other songs supporting the lead track 'Animation', aren't as strong, they have an eclectic sound worthy of a mention.   'Kill by Death' has a strong electric intro. However we are not sure whether the vocals by Emcee Kim do the music justice. Hentaigene have been adventurous with their song 'Living in a Circle, a chaotic sounding piece of music, which marries Japanese conversation, softer asian sounds, metal and rap. In contrast, the rockin' tune ''The Thing that Shou..' is a more traditional metal and hip hop track, with some interesting, almost lullaby style sounds. There appears to be something for everyone in Hentaigene's repertoire.

Whether you approve of their stance on the Gorillaz or branding, they've amassed more than seventeen thousand fans on myspace. That has to count for something. Question: Who is financing the video? Could it be the Gorillaz themselves? Give your Feedback in the mmm world
