A bit of a shambles, this feels like the bad version of 24 Hour Party People - it's not quite got as interesting a protagonist as PArty People, and it never really finds an interesting structure to hang on to - there's interesting underlying material about material success versus integrity in the music industry, and how it can drip away as power is apparently closer, but it never quite rounds up. There's also imagery from a bunch of different films (DAnny Boyle seems to be a producer largely so he can't sue for ripping off Trainspotting), and it never really finds a reason to make Alan McGee interesting, despite trying to throw in Alistair Crowley and Malcolm McClaren as side characters, it doesn't find a reason for them to really be there
