Phenomenal album, lousy LP pressing
NOT a review of the album, which is extraordinary, but of the vinyl LP, which is terrible. There's audible static on right channel (not normal LP pops and clicks) that can be heard over the music. I'm no vinyl noob; this is not normal or tolerable for a brand new LP. I listened on 2 turntables and 3 cartridges with same result. I also own the CD, and guess I will have to stick with that. Thank you Amazon for your great return policy.

90s dancefloor, excellent band
this clubby Lp hit the floor in london in 1996. Multiple singles and remixes later, remains one of the signature albums of that period. Stunning sound on reissued vinyl. easily one of the most underrated bands of any era, still going strong, albeit via solo works and non-fiction--highly recommended.

EBTG plugs in
After the success of the Todd Terry's remix of their song "Missing," Everything But the Girl went from acoustic folk/pop duo to a flat-out electronica outfit, expanding their fan base immeasurably. This phenomenal album is fleshed out with a couple of demos, a slew of remixes, and two versions of their remarkable rendition of "Corcovado" (originally recorded for the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Rio). Great liner notes offer insight to the recording process. This remastered edition is a must for any EBTG fan.

EBTG playing drum and bass riffs? You gotta be kidding me!
This album is good. The only thing I didnt really like about it was the style of sound they've adapted. It's all drum and bass techno sound here. If ever you've listened to EBTG in the past, you'll notice that they had that jazz-pop beat that's so light and romantic. Now, EBTG has jumped into the bandwagon by going electronic. I have nothing against eletronic music, in fact I like techno music, but somehow Tracy Thorn's voice is drowned out by thumping bass and high hat hisses. I love Tracy Thorn's voice. She has a great voice! This album however didnt showcase much of that talent. Instead, it showcased Ben Watts new found toy--- electronic riff music. If you're hoping to hear Tracy Thorn sing into your heart on this one, you might be disappointed. If you're interested in hearing Ben Watts electronic gadgetry, then this album is full of it. If you're hoping to hear the EBTG jazz-pop sound in this album, well, you wont find it here. Try it.
