Dummy.
Sweet.

Almost interesting anecdote:

I got the album when it first came out, having liked the Glory Box single enought to have bought it too. Happily listened to it for 5+ years before I was in Hong Kong and saw it there, with an additional track - "It's a Fire". So I bought it, and that's one of the standout tracks on the album for me - I couldn't believe I'd never even heard of it until that day.

Anyway, now I look at the back of Dummy everytime I see it in a record shop and some copies have the full tracklist (including It's a Fire) and others don't. Only this morning at the Supersized Tesco out by the Ricoh arena, I spotted a copy without It's a Fire.

How odd.

If you don't know this band yet, you some day will. Beat the rush.

It's not a bad album, am a bit bemused by the Robbie Williams track though - good effort, but doesn't quite work...

"It's a Fire"...excellent tune. I bought the CD over 10 years ago. Mine has it. I wonder if it was just a UK thing where they left it out. The album's not quite as easy to find over here in the US. I actually heard it in a club and asked the DJ what it was. Bought it the next day. Still one of my all time faves.

That's an excellent album. If you like Portishead, you might like Lamb - have you listened to Lamb's first album? Along the same lines, not quite the same thing. Female singer over breakbeats - pretty cool.

If you like Lamb you'll love the remix of one of their tracks that appears on the end of disc 1 of Kruder and Dorfmeisters K&D sessions 🙂

Looks like this could become the music association thread!

Nice - it's one of the extras on the Live Roseland NYC DVD. For anyone who hasn't seen it it's well worth a viewing.

Mix music just throws me for a loop... I barely rate it over rap. Why don't you listen to musicians?

For me, the art of music lies in composition.
