This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
This trip-hoppy British techno duo are anything but meek; on the contrary, this co-ed twosome come on like a lion on this envelope-pushing sophomore CD.
Taking the usual array of synths, samples and sound effects and augmenting them with live instruments — notably a wicked standup bass and some swingin’ jazzbo drums — musical mastermind Andy Barlow paints simmering, smouldering canvasses of sound. For her part, spellbinding vocalist Lou Rhodes had just enough of a hint of Billy Holiday’s soul to turn these gloomy grooves into torch ballads for the new millennium.
