Looks like Madness is at it once again. “One Step Beyond” will always be a big part of my dancing mania. I’ve played that song so many times on my turntable that the scratches in the vinyl have morphed it into a kick-ass remix—way beyond what any hip-hop or electronica artist could bring.

The U.K. ska band is offering their 2006 tour performances on double-disk with exclusive cover art (limited to only 1,000 copies only), and the re-invented and re-energized Madness invites you to put your dancing shoes on. You can pre-order them here.

The band is currently working on a release for 2007.
