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.
