I have heard a song or two from this CD.  The band is now called THE
Madness (rather a cheap shot if you consider that they were calling it
quits supposedly).
Anyway, I find that the music is not the same as Madness, but yet I
found it quite enjoyable.  There isn't any of that quirky horn section
stuff that Madness was known for.  Instead, it sound more like Madness
intentionally doing mid-tempo top-40.  Interesting.
Sorry I don't have a title or label as I have only heard this stuff on
the radio.
