After the hugely infectious disco anthem ‘Comfortably Numb’, Scissor Sisters’ latest offering is a curiously plaintive affair, a sonic comedown from the heights of Manhattan hedonism.

Surprisingly, it’s the single remix (a ‘Riton Re-rub’ as they have called it, the scamps) that outshines the original.
