here's what RS said about his last album:

"Momus delights in wordplay like few others in contemporary pop, using 
wit as a formidable
weapon against the tyranny of everyday banality... Ping Pong is a marvel 
of soft-spoken
debauchery; the intimate venomousness of the lyrics is offset by the 
smooth electropop and
even the occasional samba... Let's hear it for clear-eyed misanthropy and 
postmodern lust."
