Hey Tom,
This guy was number 1 in the UK for about 3 weeks over
xmas and I believe has only dropped outside the top 10
in this weeks mid-week charts.  
As you say the track was on the Donnie Darko
soundtrack and has been available over here on
compilations for over a year but it gradually just
built over months and months getting more and more 
airplay and eventually keeping the darkness off the
top slot for xmas.

I've now been seeing lots of great reviews of his solo
stuff (mad world was with Michael Andrews) which
apparently is now released here but I've yet to pick
up a copy...

He definitely has a soft and sweet voice, not
technically amazing but very easy on the ear!

Anyway, from the reviews I've read might be worth
picking up a copy...
Russ
