"There It Is" - released on 11st January 99

911 is the-well-established darling of Malaysian scence with the group's members themselves confirming that there is nowhere in the world where they have been as well received as they were in Malaysia, npt even in their native UK.

Its first ablums, The Journey and Moving On, spawned at least nine favourites with the cuts like Don't Make Me Wait, Love Sensation, Bodyshakin', All I Want IS You and other favourites. So, the fact that I think this ablum is boring will not stop it from being the highest-selling ablums of the year.

"Moving On" - released on 6th July 98

The title, Moving on says it all. Boy group 911 is determined to prove that it is no flash-in-the-pan and their latest ablum marks the a decent attempt to cross into a more adult stream. Gone are the smiling faces on the CD cover and inlay; what we have have are rather seriously looking and less boyish gentlemen with improved vocals and more polished harmonies. The title track is telling of the lads' evolution: "We're moving on in the one direction (sic)/ We're growing stronger with every passing day/ We're always remember all of our friends along the way."

What remains, as expected, is the group ability to out catchy choruses and smoothly-crafted ballads to keep royal churn fans happy. The songwords are stills as shallow as ever, but heck , no one buys a 911 ablum expecting profound material.

What's you'll be guaranteed here are radio-friendly ditties that one can continue tapping their feet to, oblivious to any emotional or finanical crisis that maybe looming nearby. So expect to see the mugs of Lee, jimmy and Spike gracing teenage girls' bedroom walls for a while more. The more shooty types who turn their noses up at the mere mention of boy groups might want to give this ablum a listen, wonders never cease, you know. Rating: 3 stars out of 5

Diehard 911 fans are advised to keep thier eyes peeled as they watch this video. Why?
