Title: Exemplary trip-hop classic
Product review: This disc works as a party trip-hop disc; as cruising music; as cool pop music for a date, and on plenty of other levels. It's extremely accessible and consistent, more so than anything else Morcheeba produced. Great grooves, very listenable, good for cleaning the house, partying, driving, whatever.But: I have to make a note of this. Sky the vocalist(I DO love her, I'm so sad she's gone from Morcheeba now) does start to get a little heavy on the loud breaths during song phrases ("seagulls scavenge... hooaaaggghh... steal ice cream... waarrrggghh... worries vanish within my dream... waaagghhhh... left my soul there, down by the sea-ee... hoaghhhh... lost control yeah... haaaggghhh...). It gets a little bit distracting. Now that I've helpfully pointed this out, I'm sure you'll immediately download the MP3s to check it out. It's definitely there. It's not present on their earlier work, such as Who Can You Trust. Shame really. The only thing that mars this otherwise fine disc.
