Sam, the heavy-handed 'Bull of Bosphorus', held the upper hand throughout as he made his second defence but rarely threatened the defensive-minded Francis before two knock-downs in the seventh round.

In the fourth, Sam had Francis on the ropes but could not make much of an impact, and the pattern remained in the fifth with Sam staying on the attack and Francis defending.

 Momus: Oskar Tennis Champion - PopMatters Music Review
In which case, Momus' latest, Oskar Tennis Champion, succeeds admirably, since even after listening to it a number of times, it's still made no lasting impression on my psyche.
But while Oskar Tennis Champion reflects some elements of his adopted country's music, from touches of kabuki to flashes of shibuya-kei and j-pop, it's mainly a laptop-type album that could have been made anywhere in the world.
Perhaps the key to appreciating this particular incarnation of Momus is to pretend he's a component of an installation in a contemporary art gallery, or that the album is the soundtrack to an off-off-off-Broadway avant garde theater piece, rather than trying to experience it as music that is enjoyable or thought-provoking in and of itself.
